Community Projections: Adam Wainwright

My apologies to red baron for today's thread.

Last year Adam Wainwright had ERAs below 3.00 in April, May and August. He was sensational for that part of the year in which he was healthy. His only bad month – in June his ERA in 2 starts was 4.85 – was the one in which he was injured. He didn’t pitch between June 7 and August 22. His last start before being injured was the team’s 64th game. Following that win, the team was 37-27 – in 2nd place – 2.5 games behind the Cubs. When Wainwright was recalled to pitch in late August, the team was 72-58 and the team was in 3rd place, 7.5 games behind the Cubs and 2.5 games behind the Brewers. Still, it doesn’t appear as though the team missed Wainwright all that much in ’08.
