We've already projected what we think the Braves infielders and outfielders will do this season, now we turn our attention to the pitching staff, beginning with the starting pitchers. For the pitchers we'll project W-L, ERA, and Strikeouts.
Copy and paste the below players into a comment and guess their 2010 W-L, ERA, and Strikeouts.
Derek Lowe
Jair Jurrjens
Tommy Hanson
Tim Hudson
Kenshin Kawakami
My guesses are after the jump.
Derek Lowe, 16-11, 3.63, 127
Jair Jurrjens, 17-9, 3.23, 148
Tommy Hanson, 22-7, 2.42, 215... Cy Young
Tim Hudson, 18-10, 3.48, 109
Kenshin Kawakami, 12-11, 3.76, 125
I'm going to go ahead and be pretty optimistic about this year's staff, giving no one an ERA over 4.00, but no one except Hanson gets a real flashy record either. Hudson and Jurrjens don't get as many bad-luck losses this year, thanks to the offense. Kawakami squeaks out a winning record, and Lowe bounces back nicely. Best staff in baseball. </rose colored glasses>
