    Worst starting rotation in the bigs?

    The current Florida Marlins starting rotation:

    Mark Hendrickson - 6.10 ERA in 2 starts, 12 H and 6 BB in 10.1 IP
    Rick VandenHurk - 11.81 ERA in 2 starts, 12 H and 3 BB in 5.1 IP
    Andrew Miller - 7.91 ERA in 2 starts, 16 H and 3 BB in 7.2 IP
    Scott Olsen - 6.00 ERA in 1 starts, 7 H and 2 BB in 6 IP

    I don't know who the 5th starter is and I don't want to. This is just an awful rotation. Who would have thought this possible after the Josh Johnson/Anibal Sanchez/Scott Olsen/Ricky Nolasco/Sergio Mitre etc. explosion of a couple years ago? Miller has some good promise and Olsen could be decent but the other two guys are just a waste. Mark Hendrickson could be the worst Opening Day starter of all time. I don't understand why the Fish didn't just go out and sign an old innings eater like Livan Hernandez just to give them some respectability!
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Rick Van Den Hurk might be the worst 2 starter since the 1962 Mets...

    Last year (rookie season) he sported a 6.43 ERA in 18 games for a 63 ERA+. Just stellar.
