I get the caution sign re innings, but it’s reasonable to expect that, if he stays healthy, they can push him 20+ over his previous career high. (Eg we saw Bradish pushed ~30 more IP last year.)
I’ve steered away so far, but I’d like to get a share or two in case he carries these gains through 165-170 IP. (Also, I’m a Tigers fan).
But he’s pitching in a great division with friendly parks—and some regression from a 2.00 fip and 2.28 xERA could still make him a stud if the k% stays close.
Nicely done, Brendan. This is very helpful.

I would temper some expectations here. He didn’t pitch against a single good/healthy offense all year.
It’s a good point.

Yeah. I still think he’s top 25 pitcher but he may go at a top 10 price.
