I'm just going off of what other project, and what they all project is Lester and Danks both seeing at least a one run increase on their ERA. I'll break things down more in a separate post.

With Lester, the only stat of his that stands out as exceptionally low to me is HR/FB, which accounts for some of his low HR/9, but he get more grounders than flies so that shouldn't jump too much. And Danks is likely due for a rebound in his HR rate, but he should still be a solid pitcher at the price he's going for. But moreover, both pitchers are young and still improving. Danks is 24, Lester 25. What's not to like? Why do you project that Danks and Lester to do worse?
