Your entire argument is based on a stat sheet that is taking in the horrible first half the entire staff had while ignoring the obvious improvement in each and every one of them throughout the season.
Lester had a hiccup for a handful of games after the ASB but overall kept the other team in check.
Quintana had nearly a 2 month stretch later in the year when he had a sub 2 ERA.
Hendricks started with a 5+ ERA and ended with 14 wins and a 3.44 ERA.
A lot of the Cubs ugly rotation numbers came from Tyler Chatwood who isn't in the rotation any more and I suspect the Cubs will extend Cole Hamels to get his number down for next year.
So you keep on looking at stat sheets and I'll keep watching the actual games.
