“Strong return after TJ surgery, but little luck (3.23 xFIP; 3.94 ERA)”

“Premier workhorse dinged for lower K/9 upside than those SPs above”

“Wainwright looked amazing in 2012 coming off of TJ surgery. He is easily going to get 200 Ks, have a great ERA, and keep his win total around 20. Grab him with all the confidence in the world.”

“You already know with Cain you are getting an ELITE pitcher with 200 K potential. 15+ Wins and an ERA under 3.00. Grab him with confidence.”

“Bust - Spencer Firth”

 
 

“Cain should be good for 220 innings of 2.90 ERA and 15 wins. He might have the best Home splits in all of baseball.”

 

“K/9 increase was due to a conscious change; increased K/9 vs. LHB last year by a wide margin; threw Slider 14% MORE often against LHB with 2-strikes. His strikeout looking percentage increased by 13% - a very similar set of increases”
