If Cabezas can throw 5-6 innings every five days then you will have yourself two extremely talented pitchers in the rotation.

Joe Lopez is likeable. Might be one of those guys that figures it out after 30. He won't get you a stellar ERA, but if he's anywhere near the 3.75-4.25 area then you have a very good middle of the rotation guy.

O'Rogan is consistent, if you have to find a word. He isn't an ace (you know that), but he's also not a number 5 pitcher.

You have great balance here. Last season's team ERA was 4.38 (17th in the BLB). This rotation is going to get you in the upper half and closer to 10th in the league.

It'll be interesting to see if Cabezas can make the switch to SP. I kind of doubt it myself at this point.

It reminds me that Andrew once told me that during one of his tests of the league financials early on, the CPU had moved him to a starting role and he was absolutely dominant for a decade or so. Of course he didn't mention it to me until long after the fact. He's never had an endurance over 3, so it never crossed my mind he could start in past versions of the game.
