Did we even get 2.5 wins from them last year? I can't get Garcias numbers for us.

I personally think that Gohara will be around 3.5 next year. He is just that good. This is without further developing is changeup. If that got better then all bets are off. You could be looking at a 5 win pitcher.

McCarthy needs to stay healthy and thats the big question but his pacing makes me feel comfortable about giving him around 2. I'm going to assume worse rate production but better health.

Good point on the catcher performance. Last year was really special.
