Not really; they may not even have a top 3 rotatition in the NL West. Peavy/Schmidt/Zito match up just fine with Webb (some are worse, but all have the potential to be almost or just as good). Cain/Lowe/Young look to have the same, if not much better, ERA's than Johnson. Lowry/Hensley/Penny are just as good as Hernandez, with Maddux having the most risk of being worse. Hernandez hasnt had good peripherals since 2004. And the 4/5 dont really matter. Wolf, Billingsley, Davis, Maddux, Morris; all should be decent, with Davis and Bills with the biggest upside.

I dont see the Dbacks dominating even the NL West with their pitching, even though I think RJ will be much better than his 5 ERA last year.
