Arizona:
Stable top: Brandon Webb, Dan Haren
Stable middle:
Stable bottom: Doug Davis, Yusmeiro Petit, Jon Garland
Wildcards: Max Scherzer, Travis Blackley, Jarrod Parker
Ability to pick up significant help midseason via trade: Lacking
The Diamondbacks remain pretty shallow relative to the other three teams in
the rotation, but they're deadly as long as they remain healthy. Scherzer has
as potent an arm as any young right hander in the division, including
Lincecum, Billingsley and Jimenez. Blackley's performance in Mexico drew many
raves, and the D-backs are hoping they found a gem with him, but right now
it's looking like he might be slotted for the bullpen/swing duty. Picking up
Garland was a big help to insure against some let down by either of those two.
Without a lot of minor league depth, the Snakes will have to rely on
development by Parker if their big league rotation has gone south. Catcher
Miguel Montero is the piece they've been using as bait for pitching over the
winter, he should help them get some arm, but don't expect Arizona to acquire
another frontline starter this summer.
San Francisco:
Stable Top: Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain
Stable middle: Jonathan Sanchez, Barry Zito
Wildcards: Randy Johnson, Noah Lowry, Kevin Pucetas, Henry Sosa, Tim
Alderson, Madison Bumgarner
Ability to pick up help midseason via trade: Good, but they shouldn't need it
in the rotation.
It's becoming clear that the Giants will have the division's rotation to fear
in the early part of next decade. I'm hoping that a few of these arms go
Jerome Williams or Jesse Foppert on them before that happens. For 2009, the
rotation's solid, but the lineup is still deficient.
I would expect the Giants to use some of their minor league depth to acquire
a young bat if they are serious contenders Midsummer, but not another ace
pitcher.
Los Angeles:
Stable top: Chad Billingsley, Hiroki Kuroda
Stable middle: Randy Wolf (semi-stable, I still wonder about the IP)
Stable bottom: Eric Stults
Wildcards: Clayton Kershaw, James McDonald, Jason Schmidt, Ramon Troncoso,
Ability to pick up help midseason via trade: Not great right now
Wolf was as good a pickup as the Dodgers could have made via free-agency at
this point in the offseason, and unfortunately he came at a bargain. In
relying so heavily on Billingsley and Kershaw for 2009, the Dodgers are
rolling the dice on a couple of talented young starters. This could either
pay off in a big way (think about the 2003 Marlins or the mid-80's Mets and
Royals teams) or bring disappointment.
The Dodgers could have the potential to put a significant trade package
together by midseason if prospects like Andrew Lambo, Ivan DeJesus Jr. and
Ethan Martin take off in early 2009. Right now, however, it's hard to see a
package that draws frontline rotation talent.
Colorado:
Stable top: Ubaldo Jimenez, Aaron Cook
Stable middle: Jeff Francis
Stable bottom: Greg Smith, Jason Marquis
Wildcards: Jorge De La Rosa, Franklin Morales, Francis, Greg Reynolds, Jason
Hirsh, Jhoulys Chacin
Ability to pick up help midseason via trade: Decent
Francis' potential loss significantly raises the unknown quotient in the
Rockies rotation, and focuses attention on the need for two of the trio of
other LHP starters (JDLR, Smith or Morales) to prove themselves reliable in
2009. The Rockies could win the division if they get two mid-rotation caliber
performances to back Jimenez and Cook, but the Francis loss definitely
impacts their likelihood of doing so.
The Rockies are sort of a hybrid between the Dodgers and Giants when it comes
to trade-worthy talent. They have more upper level prospects than Los
Angeles, but at the same time they are needing some solid early season
performances to really make a trade package work. If you look at the Sabathia
and Harden trades of last summer, you can see where the Rockies will need a
positional talent like Hector Gomez or Chris Nelson to impress early to add a
near ready bat to the pot.
