2010 PROJECTED STATS:
BASEBALL HQ: 17-7. 3.23 ERA. 1.23 WHIP. 218 INN. 187K.
BILL JAMES: 15-10. 3.64 ERA. 1.28 WHIP. 225 INN. 178 K.

PECOTA: 13-11. 3.83 ERA. 1.30 WHIP. 204.2 INN. 212 K.
2010 PROJECTIONS & OUTLOOK:
14-9. 3.56 ERA. 1.26 WHIP. 207 INN. 181 K. Wainwright is an absolute stud with filthy stuff and is among the leagues’ elites. He’s a TOP 10 pitcher and should perform well in 2010. Pitching guru Dave Duncan has him clicking on all cylinders and look for him to be step for step with the other Cy Young contender on the Cardinal staff, Chris Carpenter. He should win 15 games easy this year with an improved lineup and I don’t think his ERA takes that big a hit – Look for 3.15 ERA and 200 K.
