Rotation:
Three Finger Brown
Ferguson Jenkins
Greg Maddux
Hippo Vaughn
Old Pete Alexander
Pen (to save their arms
):
Kerry Wood
Mark Prior
Lee Smith
Honorable mention:
Rick Sutcliffe
This list is kind of tough to do with the Cubs because it is loaded with Deadball Era arms. It is obviously very tough to value them properly. Mordecai, Fergie, and Maddux had to be in there IMO. Grover Cleveland is an all-time even though he did not join the Cubs until 31. Hippo Vaughn impressed me the most out of the rest of the old timers.

I know if rains a lot in Seattle but a 3 man rotation

Yeah, but who else? Freddy Garcia? Iwakuma? I guess you could use Doug Fister or Pineda.

I only considered the times they were on the Cubs, which devalued Maddux.

No. That gives me PTSD.

You going to throw Felix twice every 5 days? And Randy?

Yeah, that was the joke.

So (with a nod to "Spahn and Sain, then pray for rain") it's "Felix and Randy, then rain comes in handy".
Posted on 9/24/14 at 12:26 pm to Quidam65
Pretty much. Not a lot of history of good pitching in Seattle.

Not being alive to see/hear about most of the guys y'all are suggesting is probably the main reason, haha. I wish that wasn't the case though
