The Mariner Monitor

There’s no doubt that Jon Huber’s numbers look nice after he got his cup of coffee in September of 2006.  The converted starter was rock solid in 16 games out of the pen and now he’ll be competing for a bullpen spot out of the gate in 2007.

PECOTA sees Huber coming back down to earth in 2007.  His weighted mean average puts him at a 1.51 WHIP and a 4.84 ERA in 60 innings.  Although he has both a high breakout rate (22%) and collapse rate (22%) so he really could go either way.
