But I have to add, that even as great as his stuff is, if he is as great in 2009 as in 2008, then I will be surprised too. I think he can be good, but great seems to be a reach. But then again, there is something that he does well, he does not allow hitters to make hard contact against him. And if hitters continue to not hit the ball hard, then, well, I like his chances
But succeeding in consecutive seasons with a low BABIP will be difficult. So Daisuke will hopefully walk fewer batters, because the average on balls in play will probably be greater than it was in 2008. And with a higher average on balls in play, with the same amount of baserunners occupying the basepaths. It will result in more runs scored.
