ETA that antitrust obviously didn't read the last few lines of Stark's article:

Great as this Phillies rotation might look, it hasn't done anything yet. It's just four names printed out on a roster. Period.

They might be four awfully famous names, with already-spectacular track records. But until they actually pitch together, dominate together and win together, anyone who tries to compare them with the great rotations in history is just speculating -- or dreaming.

yeah no shi.t... I've only posted that a few times in this thread.

I could care less about Stark's opinion... and he's absolutely correct with the above... but I posted the article so you could read the credible opinions of people in MLB who were associated with those past great rotations.
