What about BABIP? It's dropped significantly since 2015. If he can maintain that also, then that might get you to the 4.4

ZiPS has his BABIP increasing to .292. That actually makes it even harder for me to see him getting to 4.4.

I think they're just giving him an age bump. He's been consistent and pretty darn young. You would expect him to improve, I just don't know how he's going to do it. Everyone -- the projectors -- seem to think he will, but I'm just not finding it. I hope he does! We sure as heck need him to.

I wouldn’t quibble with calling him a #2. My point was intended to support yours. Rotation has real potential to collapse.

Yeah, I picked an insignificant line out of your post to make a point that really didn't address anything you were saying. Thanks for the material, lol!
