I feel Price, E-Rod and Porcello will carry the torch in the rotation, each tossing 200 inning. I the case of E-Rod, he is only 23 so he might have restriction. Price is paid as an ace, he will perform to a low 3ERA, adjusted for Fenway and division. Porcello was a 3.50ERA 8.8K/9 4.70K/BB starter last 2nd half last year, I'd be happy if he sends up around 4.00 with 200 inning. E-Rod is the wild card, he was brilliant outside a few disastrous games. He has the highest upside and can only improve.
I like Kelly. That 8 straight win was something either happen in a vacuum or just an overdose delusion. I predict he will make roughly 28 starts and toss 150 inning. 4.25ERA, he will get wins because the bullpen will help out our stater significantly with the additional 2-3 set up man to bridge the ball to Kimbrel.
Clay, just anything out of him is better than the 5th starter. Huge upside. A pest.
The game changer is our bullepn of Smith, Tazawa, Uhera and Kimbrel.
