Projecting John Maine

Over at Amazin' Avenue, Eric Simon comes up with the predictions for John Maine in the 2008 season.

Using different sabermetric formulas, Maine was projected at, the best, 16-10 with a 3.72 ERA, and the worst, a 12-11 record with a 4.05 ERA.

Maine, in my opinion, may be one of the toughest guys to predict on this team. He's right up there with Oliver Perez; now I'm not saying that they're inconsistent, but rather that they are some of the streakiest guys you'll see.

A split for Maine last year...10-4 with a 2.71 ERA before the All-Star break, and, ugh, 5-6 and a 5.53 ERA.

Yikes.
