totally agree, he may slip do to the lack of Ws, nab him!!!

Perez's 2004 was a bit of a mirage. He'll be near the top in Ks again, but the walk rate is too high to consistently support an ERA under 3. He was somewhat lucky last year, and I would not be shocked to see his ERA and WHIP move a bit in the wrong direction this time around.

How can you be so sure?? That kid finally showed what he could do over a full season last year.
Why is everyone ranking Halladay as number 2. He is definitely number 1 on that list. He had kind of a down year last year but will surely return to his cy young form. Burnett is still a high injury risk pitcher and no where near as consistent as Halladay.

All I'm saying is that last year's core numbers (K rate, BB rate, HR rate) don't suggest a 2.98 ERA or a 1.15 WHIP. He needs to improve his control to repeat that.

Still a very good pitcher though.
Where are you getting that from? His component ERA was 3.01, which is an insignificant difference in comparison to 2.98. Plus, you have to expect him to get better.
I've been calling this kid out since he was in the minors. I told you ALL!
