This makes me wonder, is it possible losing those two was a blessing in disguise? If they stay healthy we still don't make the playoffs or maybe even come close but with them going down the team was forced to go out and dramatically improve the rotation. If they stay healthy do we really get Santana, Shields, or Guthrie? Probably not. We probably win about 5-8 more games and that is good enough to continue relying on Hoch, Chen, and Mendoza/Teaford/Smith for longer.
