“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”

 

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

 

“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.”

“Morse comes into Seattle the year they move the fences forward. This guy has 40+ HR potential in a full season, but I do not expect 2013 to be the year Morse shows it. Adjusting to new pitching as well as Jason Bay and Raul Ibanez on the bench behind him. If he falls late, take his power potential to go along with impressive near .300 batting average. Just have a backup plan.”
