I know this won't surprise people, but I'm very concerned about Hermanson this season.  I think he'll either end up on the DL for a significant period, or his ERA will be over 4.50.

 

I agree with that assesment. I think his velocity has been wqay down from the beg of 05. It was somewhere between 91-93 at the beg of 05 and down to about 87-88 when he gave up that hr to cuddyear in 8th or 9th at home late in august i think. If he doesn't get that good well located fastball better along with his good splitter forget about him.

 

Also iguchi is worring me as well. He really struggled in the playoffs and down the stretch last year with his swing. It became way way too big and he was obviously pulling of the ball and trying to pull everything. I remember in the ALCS every swing is body had already opened way up, something they teach not to do in little league and it killed is batting average and contact ability.
