re: Attn: R2R - Matt Cain question

In general, I think Cain is better pitcher(see ERA and WHIP). I'll take that guy. His k's may end up being lower but I don't think the difference will be much. I think Yovanni's big sell is his strikeouts, but he isn't striking anyone out so far this year.

Since Cain has been in the big leagues, his xfip has been about a run higher than his era for the year (excluding this year).
Maybe it's just finally catching up to him?
2007 - 3.65 era, 4.47 xfip
2008 - 3.76, 4.46
2009 - 2.89, 4.16
2010 - 3.14, 4.00
2011 - 2.88, 3.78
2012 - 2.79, 3.82

Meh. There are like 10 guys who will K 200 year in and year out. While Cain's ERA/WHIP are nice, Gallardo's big K numbers and decent ERA/WHIP level them off a bit for me. Couple that with Cain's slow start and you really are better off just staying put.
Gallardo routinely underachieves in April throughout his career. August ERA obviously sucks.
April- 4.13 and K/9 of 7.3
May- 2.77 and 9.1
June- 2.97 and 9.9
July- 3.40 and 8.6
August- 4.83 and 9.7
September- 3.64 and 9.9
Im not saying Cain is bad at all. I just dont see the need for the risk.
