Jason Schmidt, Tim Hudson, or Mike Mussina?

Who would be the best starter for 5 X 5?
How would you rank them (1-3)?

I haven't heard anything about Schmidt's elbow surgery, How well did that go? and how does that effect him this year?

Mussina (Highest era but most wins)
Hudson (Lowest # of Ks of all of them)
Schmidt (Might have a slow start but should be fine overall)

That order looks good to me. Mussina is definitely No. 1 in my book with the likelihood of the most WINS and excellent K's and Whip.

Hudson 2nd more on the strength of a weakened batting lineup and a worry over Rhodes as the closer. Keith Foulke was unbelievable last year and he is going to leave a huge hole in that bullpen.

Schmidt last with plenty of question marks over his health. He has had too many injuries (has pitched over 200 innings only 3 times in 8 seasons in the majors!) to be sure he will rebound from this lastest one with any confidence.

Hehe, I think almost every combination is out there now .

I'd have Mussina first and flip a coin on Hudson/Schmidt.

wow i am surprised by this. I expected everyone to take Schmidt first in fact I had to really think hard and Im still not sure I wouldn't take Schmidt over Hudson.
