| Matt Cain's 2010 Profile | | After three somewhat frustrating seasons, Cain finally fulfilled his potential last season: he went to his first All-Star Game, finished seventh in the NL in ERA and upped his career winning percentage from .411 to .463. Still, besides a drop in his walk rate -- which was paired with a more modest drop in his strikeout rate -- nothing about his numbers really changed, at least not on the surface. What did change was when he allowed his hits. The league batted .259 against him with none on, .190 against him with runners on and .161 against him with RISP. One could write it off as a fluke and project him to return to his 2007-08 level of performance this year. Cain, though, has the talent to post a sub-3.00 ERA in a more conventional fashion. He’s been exceptionally durable since the day he entered the league, and now that he’s become more efficient with his pitches, he looks like a fine bet to continue racking up 200-inning seasons. He’s a solid choice at $18 or so, but someone may overpay based on the exceptional ERA. | | Year | Tm | G | GS | IP | W | L | HLDS | S | K | ERA | WHIP | | Proj | SF | - | - | 208.0 | 14 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 177 | 3.50 | 1.24 | | 2009 | SF | 33 | 33 | 217.2 | 14 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 171 | 2.89 | 1.18 | | 2008 | SF | 34 | 34 | 217.2 | 8 | 14 | 0 | 0 | 186 | 3.76 | 1.36 | | 2007 | SF | 32 | 32 | 200.0 | 7 | 16 | 0 | 0 | 163 | 3.65 | 1.26 |
