The stats show his xFIP every full season since from 06-10 is in the 4.5 range, his best xFIP season was 09 w/ 4.22

This is mid rotation SP worthy, not ace type production. Especially in the NL. He's sustained a well below avg BABIP during that time. Obviously benefits from the help of a favorable home ballpark. In any contract situation, the giants will be overpaying for his true abilities. Using Cain as that trade bait for find an ideal sidekick hitter to pair with posey should be considered.

- I wouldn't trade Cain unless there was someone to replace him. Sabean should get Vlade Guerrero b/c - juan 2010-08-12 13:23:50 (82 views)
- probably should wait for the season to end before making and offseason decision - Toe-Knee Arm-Ass 2010-08-12 12:23:18 (69 views)
- Maybe Lincecum instead - Bdogg 2010-08-12 12:23:12 (72 views)
  - Agree, that's the key is to get a YOUNG, controllable hitter or no deal on any pitching - JoeDaddy 2010-08-12 14:16:24 (48 views)
