Myers need to be gettin some r-e-s-p-e-c-t

He's good, but I think that ERA is gonna keep going up. He's been stranding a lot of baserunners, and I wouldn't count on that continuing all year. He'll get nice K's and should have more W's. I think he's a great #3 SP.

Each year he has gotten better, and his ERA has been on a decline, so I don't know how his ERA can "keep going up," if it hasn't even started going up. I think he is a great #2, borderline #1 SP. He hasn't given up more than 3 ER all season.

I think what he meant was that based on his current peripherals, his current ERA should be higher.

He's a legit #2 starter with #1 potential. He's extremely young and getting better each year.

The real question is can Myers get some R-U-N S-U-P-P-O-R-T?

ERA from '02-04: 4.25, 4.43, 5.52
WHIP from '02-04: 1.42, 1.46, 1.47

He has only had 1 year of improvement.

I hope you are joking, rather than finding any three years of a players stats where one can find a decline; I prefer to look at ones most recent years when deciding if they are improving or not, not their first three years in the league.

ERA from '04-06: 5.52, 3.72, 2.90
WHIP from '04-06: 1.46, 1.21, 1.23

I hope this was a joke. This is only his 4th MLB season and he is 25 years old. 04 was clearly a disappointing season but everything is pointing towards him becoming a top SP.

Joking?

Is it not true that he has had 1 full year of significant improvement?

I'm not knocking on Myers, but what I stated was a fact.

What are you looking at? Compare his pre 04 to 05. So far 06, his numbers are right in line with his 05.

In 05 compared to his previous 3 seasons, he lowered his H/9, BB/9 while increasing K/9 resulting in the lowest ERA and WHIP he has posted in MLB.

Except that in your comparison you left out the stats from 05, which is the most significant data point when projecting Meyers' performance this season.
