The rotation is much weaker than I think most of us anticipated it being by this point in the season.
Plesac, Civale, and Plutko have all pitched well above expectations to help us get where we are, but I have very little trust with any of them.
Bieber and Clevinger are studs, but the absence of another top end arm is glaring. While I would never count a playoff team out, I truly believe that the Bauer trade weakened our chances this season while significantly increasing them for next season.
