Best starting 5 in MLB

[OFS]

Worked well for the Yankees, huh?

Red Sox too...hell I even remember something like best rotation talk with Beckett, Lester, Buchholz, Lackey, and Matsuzaka too. How did that one work out?
Everyone has a friggin opinion...and then an excuse when it doesn't work out.
Wait for it...

Everybody saying the Jays are one of the best teams in baseball now...they haven't even played a single game of the 2013 season yet. Wait and see how they perform before hyping them up. The dodgers thought they'd put together a powerhouse of a team to put themselves into contention, that was a load of shit as well. They could barely come within 10 games of the Giants in the NL West. The Jays are going to have to prove themselves in one of baseballs toughest division. It takes more than pure talent to win championships.

im assuming that is team era, not starters right?? I'm not sure of the other teams listed but the dodgers have one of the worst pen in the MLB. My point being, the dodgers starting rotation is better than 7th in the MLB, probably 3rd but their shitty bullpen kills the team's era.
