Why? An ERA closer to 3 than 4 would help him get more wins, correct?
As far as injury concerns, last season was his lowest innings pitched total since he became a full-time starter, and I'm just a bit concerned about the nagging injuries, and/or his big workload catching up with him at some point.

I'm saying I don't think his ERA will be bad.
And like I said he's a horse, he can handle these innings better than most can, just like CC.

NM then I read that wrong.
