Para comenzar con esos cuerpos de lanzadores de gran nivel, lo haré con los actuales campeones, los Astros de Houston, que prácticamente tendrán intacta su rotación, el gran ausente será el ganador del premio Cy Young, Justin Verlander, que jugara con el conjunto de los Mets de New York, la rotación de los siderales estará liderada por Framber Valdez, el lanzador zurdo de origen dominicano que ha demostrado mucho dominio a lo largo de su carrera, el segundo en este cuerpo de lanzadores será Lance McCullers Jr, este quinteto lo completaran Jose Urquidy, Cristian Javier y el venezolano Luis Garcia, es una rotación en el aspecto económico bastante barata si comparamos con otros equipos, pero rica en calidad y rendimiento, se puede resaltar en este cuerpo de abridores, que el 80% del total son latinos, es decir 4 de 5 abridores.
Por su parte, los Phillies de Philadelphia contarán con una excelente rotación con Aarón Nola, Zack Wheeler y Ranger Suárez, como los tres puntales de este cuerpo de picheo, los dos primeros son lanzadores que tienen una calidad comprobada en las grandes ligas, mientras que Suárez demostró en toda la post-temporada del año pasado lo mucho que puede ofrecerle a este equipo en el presente y en el futuro, los dos puestos restantes serán disputados por pichers que vienen subiendo desde las ligas menores, o quizás antes de iniciar la campaña lleguen par de lanzadores mediante la agencia libre.
In a few days the training camps of the major league teams will start their activities, being the first to join the pitchers and catchers, as usual, these trainings are held in the State of Florida and Arizona, in the leagues known as the Cactus and Grapefruit, after about 10 days the outfield players will arrive, to later start the exhibition games, but before those games arrive, I wanted to make this publication to warm up the engines, I called my attention to some rotations of teams that on paper look very strong.
To begin with those pitching staffs of great level, I will do it with the current champions, the Houston Astros, who will have their rotation practically intact, the great absentee will be the Cy Young award winner, Justin Verlander, who will play with the New York Mets, the rotation of the siderals will be led by Framber Valdez, the left-handed pitcher of Dominican origin who has shown a lot of dominance throughout his career, The second in this pitching staff will be Lance McCullers Jr, this quintet will be completed by Jose Urquidy, Cristian Javier and the Venezuelan Luis Garcia, it is a rotation in the economic aspect quite cheap if we compare with other teams, but rich in quality and performance, it can be highlighted in this body of starters, that 80% of the total are Latinos, that is 4 of 5 starters.
For their part, the Philadelphia Phillies will have an excellent rotation with Aaron Nola, Zack Wheeler and Ranger Suarez, as the three mainstays of this pitching staff, the first two are pitchers who have proven quality in the big leagues, While Suarez demonstrated throughout last year's post-season how much he can offer this team in the present and in the future, the remaining two spots will be contested by pitchers coming up from the minor leagues, or perhaps before the start of the season a couple of pitchers will arrive through free agency.
Los Yankees de New York por su parte han logrado conformar una rotación fuerte, luego de años de armar equipos netamente ofensivos, hoy podemos decir que lograron balancear su cuerpo de abridores, ya no será uno o dos los iniciadores de alto nivel los que tendrán, ahora contaran en sus filas y en su cuerpo de abridores con: Gerrit Cole como el número 1 de los tiradores o el As, seguido de Carlos Rodon, Néstor Cortes Jr, Luis Severino y Frakie Montas, dos zurdos en la rotación que harán muy complicado batearle a los de New York, que para completar tendrán a una de las ofensivas más temibles de las grandes ligas.
Ahora le toca el turno al equipo que considero que cuenta con el mejor quinteto de abridores, y que también son de la gran manzana, se trata de los Mets de New York, que tendrán al mejor 1 y 2 de las grandes ligas en lo que el picheo abridor se refiere, Max Scherzer y Justin Verlander, tenerlos en ese orden o como sea el caso es una verdadera bendición para cualquier equipo, con ellos estarán en dicho cuerpo de picheo, Kodai Senga, Jose Quintana y Carlos Carrasco, tal vez el colombiano Quintana sea quien más débil se ve de los 5, pero su historial a lo largo de su extensa carrera habla por si solo de su grandioso aporte en los conjuntos en donde ha hecho vida como abridor.
One of the rotations that I really like and that is full of youth, is that of the Atlanta Braves, is that having names such as: Charlie Morton, Michael Soroka, Max Fried, Huascar Ynoa and A.J. Minter, is not just anything, in addition to that they will have a corps of first level relievers, I would place this rotation in the top 3, is that they really promise and surely they will provide many victories. I would place this rotation in the top 3, they really promise and will surely bring many victories to the Braves, and best of all, they are young arms and can still be for several years in the team, without having to be thinking about long contracts, unless they want to tie them as they have done with Acuna Jr. and Harrys, but that is another topic that we could address another time.
The New York Yankees have managed to build a strong rotation, after years of building purely offensive teams, today we can say that they have managed to balance their starting staff, they will no longer have one or two high-level starters, now they will have in their ranks and in their starting staff with: Gerrit Cole as the number 1 shooter or Ace, followed by Carlos Rodon, Nestor Cortes Jr, Luis Severino and Frakie Montas, two lefties in the rotation that will make it very difficult to hit New York, which to complete will have one of the most fearsome offenses in the big leagues.
Now it is the turn of the team that I consider to have the best quintet of starters, and who are also from the Big Apple, it is the New York Mets, who will have the best 1 and 2 of the big leagues as far as the starting pitching is concerned, Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, having them in that order or as the case may be is a real blessing for any team, With them will be in the pitching staff, Kodai Senga, Jose Quintana and Carlos Carrasco, perhaps the Colombian Quintana is the weakest of the 5, but his record throughout his extensive career speaks for itself of his great contribution in the sets where he has made life as a starter.
Por último la rotación que en mi opinión es la mejor de todas, es la de los Mets de New York, será una de las más caras, pero está llena de calidad y de mucha experiencia, algo que es fundamental a la hora de buscar avanzar en la campaña, pero bueno una cosa es en el papel y otra lo que se verá en el terreno de juego, hay que tener en cuenta las lesiones que pueden afectar a esos peloteros a lo largo de una temporada de 162 juegos, pero guarden esta publicación y a mitad de temporada la volveremos a ver y analizar, gracias por leerme mis estimados lectores
Now I will give you the order of this top 5 that in my opinion are the best rotations today in the big leagues, in fifth place would be the Phillies, a team with starters who are above average and do not bulge at all their payroll, the same goes for the set that I have as fourth on this list, the Astros, economic payroll in terms of the starting pitching, but solid and reliable arms, do not place them third, In the third place are the Atlanta Braves, with young pitching and post-season experience, that is a guarantee of success for the present, in the second and fighting for the first place, the Yankees, have a quintet of very solid starters, with righties and lefties that will be a real hope in the search for victories that will lead them to be the champion.
Finally the rotation that in my opinion is the best of all, is that of the New York Mets, it will be one of the most expensive, but it is full of quality and experience, something that is essential when looking to advance in the campaign, but well one thing is on paper and another what will be seen on the field, we must take into account the injuries that can affect these players throughout a season of 162 games, but save this publication and in mid-season we will see and analyze it again, thanks for reading my dear readers.

Que tal amigo Karlex77 para esta temporada estuvo muy movido el mercado de negociaciones, en la búsqueda de los mejores peloteros y es evidente la inversión que hizo los Mets de Nueva york, el dueño del equipo está enfocado en llevarlo al campeonato, cueste lo que le cueste con la llegada de Verlander junto a Sherzser le puede garantizar 40 juegos si se mantienen sano más la ofensiva del lineup podemos ver a los Mets en el playoff, pero una cosa es el papel y otra muy diferente el terreno de juego y ahora con estas reglas nuevas y sobre todo la del tiempo para los pitcheo hay que ver como se ajustan los lanzadores.
