Getting Joba as a starter is a huge lift but the rest of my rotation is Volquez, Felix, Dice K, Greinke, Lilly, and Burnett. Apart from AJ "gets bombed every time he's in my lineup" Burnett, they've been brilliant but it's hard not to feel worried when you don't have an established ace like Webb, Peavy, Johan, or Lackey there.
webb? webb's been getting rocked lately. i definitely think beckett should be mentioned as a bonafide ace with the rest of them. hes been exceptional and his k/b is awesome.
I'm also surprised you went with Beckett there, especially considering Hamels wasn't mentioned. I go Cole over Beckett all day, myself.

I just named a few guys with a track record of success, not all of them.

Hey, I'm with you on Webb. He looked very good last night. I think he may be due for another 42ish scoreless innings any time now.
