I do think that their downfall this year will be pitching or lack there of. I think Billingsley has tremendous potential, but I'm not sure if he's ready to be the rock of that rotation. As far as last year goes, don't forget that it was his first full season as a starter. It's very possible that he just hit the wall towards the end. As far as Broxton goes, I think of him as I think of Kyle Farnsworth. I ask myself, how does a guy who can throw 100 mph suck so badly? It's just mind boggling.
