Greg Maddux : 2004

[Madison]

His ERA will be alot closer to 3.00, than it will be to 4.00

Hmmm......I was thinking 3.50 at best. More like 3.60-3.75 range. Hmmmm...... I already gave him the 15 wins.

He got shelled early in the season. look at his second half stats?

and he started more games than any other pitcher in the NL this season. Only Halladay tied him with 36 in the AL. Now any way you slice it, GS are important to wins......

OLD....???? 36 GS ..
3.03 ERA and a 1.1 ratio in the second half... hmmm

True. Very true. He could end up with an era closer to 3. I wouldn't risk an early pick on him, but if he fell far enough.......

Agreed. However, some stats don't tell all the story. I mean, Maddux had a dreadful first half followed by a rather good 2nd one. Maybe we can buy low at the all-star break.

I wouldn't think that Maddux will start slow next year. If he does, I wouldn't risk it unless he was extremely cheap.
