They also were rolling out a starting staff of:

Bruce Chen
Jeff Francis
Luke Hochevar
Kyle Davies
Sean O'Sullivan

There was little reason to believe that pitching staff could sustain the early success. Compare it to:

Shields
Santana
Guthrie
Davis
Mendoza

It's not a stretch to say Mendoza would have been the best starter on that 2011 team.
