Colby Lewis with a sub 4 era and double digit wins? Come on you can't be serious.

I could see the double digit wins... (10-12)... but I think the sub 4 ERA isnt going to happen.

Might as well have cut him, he wasn't gonna play more than 30 games

He and Yu led the team in wins last year with 10 each

Pitching wins are a meaningless stat anyways. I see his ERA around 4.15.

You do realize that Colby's ERA was 3.86 post AS break last season. The reason that is significant is because Colby was pitching on a newly fashioned hip and was getting used to his new hip and the longer stride that he had for the first part of the season. Looking at his ERA for the entire year last year is not a good way to judge how he will pitch this year.

What about those of us who aren't doing that and still don't think he's going to go below 4.00 on the ERA?

I am one of "those".

I think 4.20 is about right

Wow. Banny showing a lot of faith in Rua, already got him batting 6th.

I like it

 

[jta4437]

I'd switch Choo & Fielder but that's it

I am good with it plus it was either him or Chirinos in that spot with the lefty-righty batting order going on there.

Yeah, that would make more sense to me.
