This team will live and die by the starting pitching, which right now appears very shaky.

The bullpen has been impressive, but as others have said, over a long season you cannot overtax them without paying a price.

We need to get Richards back and Shoemaker to get locked in again like last year and his 2014 run. I believe if Skaggs can stay healthy, we'll see more QS's from him than what we've seen after two games. He's got quality stuff. 

Nolasco and Chavez are going to give you exactly what we've seen. Some good starts, some bad ones. But they'll keep you in most games.

Shoe = usually gets dialed in as the season progresses.

GRich = will always have health concerns, but is dominant when healthy.

Nolasco = seemingly finding a new home here.

Skaggs = the big question mark, either could be really good or just so-so.   Resembles early Lackey in allowing the big inning too often.

Chavez = decent 5th guy option.
