I think he'll be fine, but he had an off year last year. less Ks and more BBs. Kind of seemed he lost a mph or 2 on his fastball -- nm

actually,he's had the same K numbers the past 3 years. His ERA just jumped -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 16:55 8
- yeah, I saw the k's were consistant, the walks were rising - groiny Dec 16, 16:56 7
  - ERA is such a weird stat. He has almost identical numbers the last 2 years. '09 era 1.85 '10 era 3.85 -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 16:58 4
    - for my purposes ERA is useless. I need WHIP and slugging against. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 17:00 3
      - That's a little scary though, with the escalating walk rate and HR rate. -- nm - TFox Dec 16, 17:01 2
        
        HR rate is less a concern than his loss of command. - groiny Dec 16, 17:02 1
        
        the thing is, i wouldn't call it bad control. its nibbling. he's always close, but juuuuust misses. - TFox Dec 16, 17:03
  - also worth noting that he had a great July and August, but collapsed in Sep/Oct along with the rest of the team. - TFox Dec 16, 16:58 1
    - exactly. and his numbers last year are very similar to Bard's except for ERA -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 16:59
