Default Cubs Rotation is awful

I had a feeling we would be found out this year because of our weak pitching. The only pitcher's we can actually rely on are Big-Z and Lilly (bad start but he will get better). Marquis just plain sucks, Hill needs to get it together, he could come back into the rotation and Dempster is doing OK but i doubt he'll sustain it.

1) Big Z
2) Lilly
3)
4) Hill ?
5) Dempster

IMO the Cubs need at least one starter, Marshall and Gallagher are options and i think Gallagher should get a shot. They shouldn't start Lieber as he is over the hill, 4 homers in an inning! I think we definitely need to trade for at least one starter otherwise 102 years will be looming.

Amazingly, I think we'll be alright. At least for now. We'll definitely need to add a pitcher before the season's over, though.

Hill'll pull himself back together at some point, Dempster's a fine #4/#5, and I think Lieber'll be fairly solid - gotta let him get more than one start in before deeming him over the hill!

Our rotation isn't great by any means, but I think we'll be alright.

You guys will be alright...maybe not win the division but at least your pitching isnt relying on two rookies for the most part. (my Reds)
