“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.”

“Greinke got into a bit of trouble with Home Runs over the last two years with the Brewers. He should love pitching in Dodger Stadium.”

“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”

“Move back to NL, 15 W, 200+ K, mid-3 ERA safer bet than usual ”

“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.”

“Greinke was good at getting his K total to stay in the 200 Range. But his consistency and ERA in 2012 was beyond horrible for how good he is. Maybe going to the NL West where every game seems to be low scoring will help, but he does have some BUST potential on his name coming into 2013. That 3.48 ERA has to drop to 3.20 at the very least.”

 

“Arm issues creeping up for Greinke in spring training, doesn't bode well for a full season of production”

 

“Bust - Michael Morris”

 

“great pitchers park, should have good run support”
