Otherwise, I (and Thurgreed, I'm sure) stand by this assessment:
2003:
Mussina, Pettite, Clemens, Wells, Weaver
2004:
Mussina, Vasquez, Brown, Contreres, Lieber.
But for Mussina, we've gotten better at every spot in the rotation. And but for Lieber, we've gotten a lot younger, too.

Brown might be better than Clemens, except that he can't pitch when he's injured. I'll buy you a beer next fall if he wins 17 games. (Hell, I'll buy you a beer anyway, but you'll have to come here to get it.) And if Contreras was better than Pettitte or Wells, he'd have been pitching last year.
