I don't want to turn this forum into a Ted Lilly discussion, but why is everyone ignoring him? He's got better numbers than Benson, he's still young, and he k's a lot of guys

Lilly--12 wins, 168 k's, 4.06 era, 1.32 whip
Benson--12 wins, 134 k's, 4.32 era, 1.3 Whip.

Doesn't seem like much of a decision to me.

Lilly had a lot of luck last season. I think his ERA will be about 4.46 so I'd take Lowry and Benson over him. Lilly could post someting closer to 4 but I won't take my chances.
