More of a hitters park than Comerica, especially for pull righties who like to drive Willis out towards left field.
Loose - That 4.15 might be low, but I was accounting for the ballpark......are you thinking more along the lines of 4.75 or higher?
that is right where i project him , and if true burn out has arrived it could be even worse...ill be watching him closely. if he walks close to 4/9 he should get rocked...then again in his division he could get a break w/ many games against kc-min-cws ..but i really think he is toast.

Lefties have an easier time hitting homers in the CoPa than righties. Unless lefties start hitting a hard throwing lefty like Willis, he will have a pretty decent season this year.

webb and haren and peavy young are the best two tandoms in the league. Haren will have great year after the switch, cant wait to see what he does facing nl lineups all season

I can't believe all the love for the Mets 1-2. Ok, you got Johan. So maybe you have the best #1 in the league (although I might rather Doc), but Pedro is not even a good #2 at this point in his career. A great 1-2 punch is when you have two pitchers that would be aces on most other clubs, not when you have one amazing pitcher and another decent one.
Sorry Mets fans, at least you still have the best infield in baseball..

1. Peavy/Young. 2. Webb/Haren 3. Halladay/Burnett

Delgado may not be what he once was, but he's still a dangerous hitter, and Castillo is still always a threat to get on and steal bases. Reyes and Wright are both top 3 at their position. The only infield I think you could make an argument for besides the Mets is the Phillies, with Howard, Utley and Rollins.

The Phillies have the best infield in the game, hands down. And I like the Rockies infield almost as much as the Mets. People seem to forget Reyes was as much a reason for the Mets collapse as anybody. Hard to set the table hitting .250 after the break

Bedard and Felix without a doubt are the best 1-2 punch. Bedard is one of the top 5 lefties in the game to go along with dominant and then King Felix has shown incredible brilliance at such a young age.
Both of them pitching in friendly Safeco will only solidify their spot as the best 1-2 punch. I would say Peavy/Young is 2nd.

With the Mariners 1-2, they look good but do keep in mind Bedard hit a wall and was out for the remainder of the season. As far as Hernandez, I really thought he was going to have outstanding numbers last season, CY Young caliber, maybe he will this season

Verlander/Bondo or Willis (depends on which one can go revert back to being their old self and not the pitchers from last year)
CC/Carmona
Peavy/Young
Beckett/Dice K
Verlander and Bonderman? Is this some kind of joke. There are several pitchers alone better than Verlander and Bonderman got so bad toward the end of last year, he was essentially plucked from the rotation. And Dontrelle? Wow, I won't even waste time typing about how bad (or mediocre, take your pick) he is.

Without a doubt, huh? Funny considering Bedard didn't even crack the top 2 last season as far as left handed pitchers in the AL are concerned. Then you have Felix who has been a perennial underachiever. Every year, it's the same offseason story: Hernandez To Take It To Next Level ... except it never happens.
If you take the same lineup and have CC and Fausto pitch against them 100 times and then have Bedard and Felix pitch against them 100 times, you really mean to tell me the latter will allow fewer runs? We're talking non-playoffs baseball, of course.

Bedard was the best pitcher in baseball last year. If you do not believe go look at his BAA and how it put CC's to shame and I believe if was very close to Johan's if not better. He led the league in Ks before he was shut down for the season with an oblique strain. He could have pitched but the Orioles were not playing for anything and knew they would be looking to move him in the off season so there was no reason to run him out there and risk an arm injury.

So Bedard had more Ks, a better WHIP, and a 50 point lower BAA. He was
more dominant is a better pitcher than CC last year and if not for
being shut down with his oblique he would have put up more impressive K
and Wins #s. The true #s to look at for pitchers are their WHIP and BAA
cause that shows how successful batters are against pitchers.

The strikeouts are nice, but this is not what makes a great pitcher. Nolan Ryan struck out twice as many guys as the next but will never be considered one of the very best ever because he was hit often.
The WHIP and ERA are virtually the same, wins and losses don't matter. Bedard's BAA is impressive, I'll give you that. As for homers, he would have given up way more than CC, given equal innings.
Hey, I think Bedard's a bad ass, but I don't feel the same way about Felix and that was my main challenge. I can pick at least 20 (maybe 30) pitchers I would rather have on the mound before him. CC and Fausto are no brainers ahead of him.
