Is This Matt Cain's Year? Giants Could Entertain Trade Offers

Cain has pitched 417 innings over the last two seasons. His combined ERA was 3.71, his strikeout total 349. Does that sound like a 15-30 pitcher?

Cain has embodied misfortune. He also has been inconsistent. But remember, he did not turn 24 until the 2008 season ended.

Many eyes, including those in the front office, will focus on Cain in 2009. The Giants have been unwilling to entertain offers for the big right-hander, but as he inches nearer to potential free agency after 2011, the team will have to decide where he fits in the grand scheme.
