why? Didn't he produce post-season stats for NY of some consequence? Would he have produced them if he had NOT been on the Mets?

And that scares me more than anything that will be knocking on my door on Halloween.
Not them so much. I like their upside.
But who might be numbers 1 and 2.

Having Perez and Maine as our projected 4 and 5 guys next season is just fine by me...who's number 1 and 2...I'm sure Omar will figure that out...

[MFS62]

You're right. But with Pedro hurt, Orlando a free agent, and Glavine with his opt out, its the fear of the unknown.

Ok just for the heck of it..here is my projected starting rotation for next season.

1-Glavine
2 - Matsuzaka
3 - O Hernandez
4 - Maine
5 - Perez/Bannister

# 5 will be decided during spring training.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I like the idea of Matsuzaka, but I think Zito or Schmidt is probably more likely.

[Vic Sage]

Schmidt
Glavine
Maine
O.Perez
El Duque / Bannister / Pedro

We're bleeding over from another thread.

Vic Sage - "why? Didn't he produce post-season stats for NY of some consequence? Would he have produced them if he had NOT been on the Mets?"

Because they weren't included in the totals for the season and I was being lazy. I didn't feel like looking up the postseason stats, adding them to the regular season, and recalculating the resultant ERA & WHIP.

For the sake of completeness, I'll get over my laziness and post Maine's cumulative numbers this evening.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Vic wanted the whole story, including John Maines post-season stats, so here they are.
