Season Long Hard Luck Loser

Before you look to see who this player is, I want you to take a second and look at the key statistics of this player. Have a look over these numbers and attempt to estimate just what this players record should be.

IP	ERA	Ks	BB
137.1	3.93	107	66

Couple these numbers with a respectable WHIP of 1.369 and a .241 opponents' batting average.

22 games started into the season, I'd say that these numbers should be good for about 11-wins or so. If this pitchers were on a stud offensive team, maybe 13+ wins so far.

Well, these numbers are Matt Cain's stats, and his San Francisco Giants have done jack-squat to contribute to his record. In fact, they have been so bad that he has been held to a 3 - 12 record!
You have to feel a little bad for the guy, don't you?

Cain remains a must start in all leagues. You have to assume that at some point the law of averages will kick in and he will go on a big win streak.
