There was a level of luck to it, it's why when people point at this form of rebuild it's like what happened last time isn't the norm..what's more normal is you find 4-5 guys you keep around to be part of the next wave of guys and you don't really contend until that has happened 3 times.

Our pitching was an excellent in 2015. We were 3rd in AL era and 6th in runs Scored. We had the only 2 guys he ever produced in the rotation along with Volquez who was really solid. Chris Young was a good 5th alongside Kris Medlen (15-8 with a 3.60 era from that slot)
Also, he dumped a sack of garbage onto Cinci for Jon E Qweddo which only made the rotation that much better. The Pen was so good it doesn’t require mention here
