Russell and CF are really the only positions to have regressed.
Like I said, the lack of a true table setter since Fowler has hurt more than anything. The team continues to deny it's an issue by claiming they have one of the most productive batting lines from #1, which they do, but they ignore who they are using to get those numbers.

Well shoot if all that is holding you back from a dynasty is the absence of Fowler I am going to go out on a limb and say you can probably get him back for a case of sunflower seeds.
I still don’t hear any evidence other than armchair homerism about batting order that supports your assertion they are the cream of the NL.
Lester is no longer a #1, who know if Darvish will ever man up again. Hendicks Jeff Suppan act is starting to fade. Quintana? Meh okay. Young arms on the horizon? Not a whole lot to hang your hopes on there either.
