“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.”

“Pablo's numbers will be somewhere between good and great. Expect his hands to get stronger and faster as teh season goes on.”

“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”

“Sept/postseason surge (WS MVP) put hammate issue to rest”

“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.”

“Kung Fu Panda comes into 2013 out of shape, I would pass on him as there are plenty of other players that will hit more HRs and drive in more runs. 20 HR/100 RBI is a dream season at this point.”

 

“He?s had a tough time staying healthy the past two seasons, but a full season projects similar numbers to Zimmerman and A. Ramirez.”

 

“tough to trust Pablo now tha he has missed about 100 games total in the last seasons and reports are he has put on more wieght (not a surprise)”
