Kershaw is going to be #1 SP in NL. How's that for a prediction? :)

As wary as Washington was with going over 160 innings, and if the "proper" progression is an increase of 30 innings for young arms, then I don't think Strass will be #1 with 190 innings, if he does however reach the kind of innings Kershaw should get - 220, then he has a fair chance.

I kinda doubt they'll limit him next year. He really just needs to get more efficient, his main problem is that he rarely pitches into the 7th inning because his pitch counts are already approaching 100. I would assume they'll let him stretch it out a little more and he'll becoming more efficient with experience. It would be surprising if they shut him down early assuming he has no problems.

I predict the Boston Red Sox will face the Colorado Rockies in the world series.

My things have changed a lot in 5 years.

Yikes, I don't think the Red Sox or Rockies will even come close. I suspect the '13 World Series will be the Angels or Yankees facing the Nationals or Dodgers.

Gimme Kershaw as well due to the additional IP totals. He is right there in the Cy Young race again this season despite playing injured most of the 2nd half.

It's a good thing that I already own both Kershaw AND Strasburg! ;-D

Cain - he hits 20 wins and 200 K for the first time.
If it's obvious it's probably true.

Doubt you should. Do you really think the Nats front office will let him go near 220 IP? I wouldn't bet on it.
