I'd say that's about right...

maybe a little bit better (2.90 ERA?), and is traded in late June for help elsewhere, hopefully a package for a stopgap 3b until Moses/Winfree are ready in 2009.

Rincon

Rincon was a little hurt last year, and it affected his performance somewhat.

77 IP, 2.60 ERA, 8.6 K/9, 3.1 BB/9, 7.3 H/9 (that's the number that really skyrocketed when he had the groin problem at the end of last year, and it'll come back in line with the last threee years.

Basically, even with the tough stretch last year, he's been veru consistent over the last three years, and I basically just predicted an average of those years with a little boost for him being healthy.
