I was just looking at the schedule for this year. If we faced the top of every rotation in June we could be facing the following pitchers in June of 2010.
Jair Jurgens
Javier Vasquez
John Lackey (I think he'll be an Angel again)
Edwin Volquez
Clay Bucholz
CC Sabbathia
AJ Burnett
Andy Petite
What does this mean? Not a whole lot. I just thought it was pretty crazy. That's 5 different Cy Young winners in one month, one of them who won it twice and a few of the most consistant, best pitchers from the last 10 years that haven't won Cy Young's as well. If only strength of schedule counted for something!
Hopefully the Dodgers won't blow their load in the first 6 weeks of the season again and can pace things out this year, because June will be a tough, tough month.
