2007 pitching predictions

[redsoxrules]

schilling under 4?

Beckett under 4?

Matsuzaka under 3?

 

yes , except for dice-k

[TheKilo]

I'll just do W/L and ERA, but let me start by saying anything under 3.5 is an extreme stretch in the ALE.

 

Schilling - 17-10, 4.25 ERA

Beckett - 18-9, 4.3 ERA

Matsuzaka - 14-7, 4.3 ERA

Wakefield - 12-14, 4.5 ERA

#5 Starter (sans Clemens) - 10-16, 4.7 ERA

 

That's an approximation of 71-56 out of the starters. We'd need 25 wins out of the 'pen to get to the playoffs, IMO.

 

If Clemens comes on board it's a whole different ballgame.

 

 

I think I did OK here, Beckett obviously the big surprise.

Beckett is an absolute enigma. A 2 pitch pitcher with a 3rd that is way too far behind. A mentality that can easily be shaken and location that is suspect when you make contact. He will improve if he trusts his offspeed stuff' date=' but the only way he gets into the mid 3's is if he masters a 3rd pitch. [b']He hasnt, so he wont. Also, with the use of the curveball will come blister issues, even when he is treated for eczema. I expect a mid 4's ERA and about 170IP and a stint on the DL. [/b]

Hey Jacko, looks to me like Becketts ERA ended up being 3.27 when I think called for a 3.23? So, sir, whatever shall we do with that sig?

[redsoxrules]

If Beckett's era is that low' date=' you can control my sig for a week.[/quote']

 

LOL@jacko

[jacksonianmarch]

ksush almost had my sig for a week, rofl.

********. He was close enough... he gets your sig.

[BSN07]

Ya Jacko, thats prety damn close, that deserves the Sig. But your a good poster so I don't expect anything less from you LOL

[ksushi]

You shall not wiggle out of that. You stuck by Josh not getting his ERA under 4, and guess what it was 3.27, chief. Take your lickings.
