While Escobar was a good defensive SS, he was an awful hitter and combined with Gomez and Lucroy gave a pretty bad 6,7,8 series. Betancourt is an awful defender, but hits for some power and so should make up for his errors. I'm predicting Cincy to regress a little, and the Brewers and Cardinals to battle it out for the division.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587946427761845213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064547517730087223.post-6791280853913315942010-12-20T16:36:17.483-06:002010-12-20T16:36:17.483-06:00I'm with you, I think the move to the NL will ...I'm with you, I think the move to the NL will help his K rate jump back up to the 8.5-9 K/9 range. For his sake I hope he strikes out as many people as possible with that defense behind him.Eric Chttp://www.thehousethatgeorgebuilt.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064547517730087223.post-34878231986380324462010-12-20T16:20:27.922-06:002010-12-20T16:20:27.922-06:00TCM thinks his ERA will be below 3.00, and he'...TCM thinks his ERA will be below 3.00, and he'll strike out a few more batters based on the difference in the quality of hitters he'll face. The defense playing behind him is really no different from the one he had to play in front of last year, and the quality of the bullpen in Mil should be better than the one he had in KC (leading to fewer inherited runners scoring). If JoePos is right, he may also benefit from increased concentration and focus, but we probably don't know enough to say anything definitively.The Common Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994070642805307798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064547517730087223.post-61967901156795178282010-12-20T16:04:08.224-06:002010-12-20T16:04:08.224-06:00Just for fun, what do you expect out of Greinke th...Just for fun, what do you expect out of Greinke this season? 2009 Cy Young form or more like 2010? I lean towards the former.Eric Chttp://www.thehousethatgeorgebuilt.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
