ERA is far from a trivial stat as well. Top teams have low team ERAs and we'll need the top end of our rotation to keep that number down.
And I'm as excited about Alvarez as the next guy but the majors are filled with young guys putting up good numbers for about half a year, then getting knocked around so bad we never hear from them again, because batters have now seen them and adjusted to them.
And McGowan staying healthy and Drabek showing he can pitch at this level are still pretty big 'if's'...
I'd love for you to be right, but I'm just a little bit skeptical at this point.
