What's the over/under on how many home runs Arroyo hits this year Jack?

3.5?

[Tilt]

Thru May 1 2005: 3.69 ERA, 3-0

Thru May 1 2006: 2.06 ERA, 5-0

Adjusting for the NL that ERA is not a huge difference. In fact, he was really good thru mid-May last year, with an ERA as low as 3.1. He's going to come back to earth guys. He tends to wear down. When you look back on his season you'll say that was pretty good, above average starter quality. But to think this guy has emerged or become something more than what he is silly.
