Comments on: LIMA, Part III (Good and Getting Better) http://www.lastplayerpicked.com/lima-part-iii-good-and-getting-better/ Fantasy Baseball Dollar Values, Rankings, and Discussion Thu, 09 Sep 2010 13:39:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Stephen http://www.lastplayerpicked.com/lima-part-iii-good-and-getting-better/#comment-545 Stephen Sat, 21 Mar 2009 22:16:24 +0000 http://www.lastplayerpicked.com/?p=668#comment-545 I'd like to comment on your information on Matt Cain. I've read about Matt Cain on another site, Rotoprofessor that did an article on him. http://rotoprofessor.com/baseball/?p=1919 It basically explains how Cain can post good numbers, though it's normally only during certain months. One excerpt from the article says this: He only posted two months with ERA’s under 4.20 (July at 1.88 and August at 3.66), making his solid ERA slightly deceiving. The same could be said for his 2007 number, as he traded good months and bad. Unfortunately, the bad was really bad, including ERA’s of 5.25 (May) and 6.58 (July). So basically, it's always possible that he could improve as he's still a young pitcher, but he still may be of some risk to sort of depend on. Like Rotoprofessor, I don't expect his Wins to really climb all that much compared to last season. I’d like to comment on your information on Matt Cain.

He's probably going to be on a 150 IP limit, and he'll certainly not be as effective starting as in relief over the course of the season.
