I somehow got Rafael Novoa back from the Cardinals. They dealt a 24 year old coming off a rookie season of 18-10 with a 2.64 ERA and 194 strikeouts for Gregg Olsen and Chris George. Olsen has been a 5 star prospect for us since we drafted him, but I've never fully bought into him. He had 18 saves for us a rookie, but he had a team worst 4.75 ERA. He's just 25, he's older than Novoa. George is an ok reliever, he was 1-4 with a 2.61 ERA with 48 strikeouts in 48 innings.

Our starting rotation is disgustingly good. Plus we have Willie Hernandez who threw a no-hitter last year and Kevin Houston, who has averaged 15 wins a season in the bullpen.

Novoa 18-10 2.64 ERA 194 K 7.7 WAR 34 starts
Hawkins 10-9 3.10 ERA 105 K 4.1 WAR is 25 starts
Fernandez 17-4 2.60 ERA 210 K 4.0 WAR 2nd in Cy Young 34 starts
Cone 16-5 3.25 ERA 182 K 3.8 WAR in 27 starts
Hitchcock 11-6 2.82 ERA 155 K 3.6 WAR in 25 games
