Predict John Maine's 2007 Stats

[K_ick_God]

I'll say 14-6 3.59 ERA

More wins and more decisions (L's) than I expected. ERA under 4 makes the year look better but his ERA was considerably worse than most predicted.

Still, he's still relatively young, he seems to have heart, throws a rising fastball, and his ball just moves a lot. Maine is a keeper. A middle-of-the-rotation guy WITH SOMETHING EXTRA. Bulldog mentality and lively arm.

Final Stats for Johnny in 2007:

15-10 3.91 ERA*

*BIG asterisk: Gets 14 K, a near no-hitter, and turns in the best outing of the year for any starter ... just when his team needs it desperately.

Its a shame because after the all-star break he was really struggling, he should have been better then that record. Anyway he has shown he can be an effective starter for us.

Remember this is Maine's first season as a starter in the big leagues. He's only 26, he's going to be a great pitcher for us for years to come. Just think about how far his secondary stuff has come along. He has a bright future for this franchise.

If he learns how to keep his focus and mechanics straight, he'll be a 20 game winner. I could see him being a #1 in the rotation one day. That performance he gave today was Gooden-esq.

Definitely. Plus he's young, and durable. With him it's all psychological.
