Free agency clouds De La Rosa's stay - The Denver Post

Here is his page on MLB.com.

Thoughts? Good or bad move?

 

[Captain Obvious]

Bad. We need to spend our money elsewhere.

Bad. I think a rotation of Z, Dempst, Archer, Cashner, and Jackson would be fine.

 

[USCChiFan]

Don't want him. His control issues scare me and he has a LOB% of 71.5 this season.

 

[Jntg4]

Wow, so his ERA could've been bloated a lot more.

 

[Captain Obvious]

Bad. I think a rotation of Z, Dempst, Archer, Cashner, and Jackson would be fine.

Yeah 3 rookies in the starting rotation. That's the way to go. 2 of which haven't even played an inning of major league baseball.

We'd be fine with Dempster, Z, Gorz, Cashner, Silva/Wells

I would love for the Cubs to have 3 rooks in the SPR, but it won't happen.

Thank you waldo.

And I don;t care if there's 3 rookies in the rotation, even though that's only 2, as Cash was a rookie this year. We need to rebuild IMO. And if they are the best talents, then they should start.

The Padres have done it with a young and inexpierence rotation.

If they are the best, they do need to play, however, you have to be absolutely sure they are the best. Rushing somebody is never good, i think the Cubs know that more then anybody. I think it's better to take our time and develop their talents before they jump up to the majors unless we are sure they can do it. We don't have a Felix Hernandez. We have a bunch of projects that may need a lot of tune up still.

That being said, i think Casey Coleman will earn a job for the rotation.
