Bernie Bytes: Cards' rotation chasing history

The Cardinals have received a quality start in 75 percent of their games. Since the pitching mound was lowered in 1969, no STL rotation has produced such a high rate of quality starts.

I know our pitching is lights out right now, buy is it wrong that the only one I have faith in to maintain this level of production is Waino. Garcia, Lynn and Westbrook have started out similarly hot but could not sustain it last year (or year before in Garcia's case). Miller doesn't have a history to go on yet. On that note, did he pitch enough innings last year to dq him from rookie status this year, or does he still qualify?

I have faith in Lynn. He lost nearly 40lbs to be able to lad and put on some muscle. Garcia could be very solid, or injured again. With Miller, the sky is the limit. Anything positive we get out of Westbrook I will take. His job will be Carlos Martinez spot in the rotation eventually.

Regarding Miller I think he may still have rookie status. Not 100% on it though.
