I think Hudson will definetly have a great year, coming back from a sub-par season last year.

I think Hudson will have a great season. His numbers should compare quite well with Zito and Mulder, forming an insane 3-headed monster. I would be comfortable with any of those 3.

Washburn scares me though. Not just the injury, but I don't see the Angels being the same team from last year. Especially Washburn.

Hudson's off to a quick start, anyway, having twirled 8 shutout innings against the Mariners. I think he'll have an excellent season. He should exceed his numbers from last year.

Washburn is probably headed in the other direction. He is due for a letdown season to a degree. While a perfectly good, solid pitcher, he just doesn't have superstar quality stuff.
