Fun exercise, thanks for posting the link.

I feel like the "Typical Reliever" range is set too high at 60 - 99 innings. In the past 5 years these are the Jays have never gotten even 80 innings out of a guy pitching primarily in relief.

2011: Villanueva had 13 starts to get to 107 innings.
2009: Shawn Camp very close at 79-2/3.

Otherwise, 0 in 5 years. I think the Typical Reliever range would be better set at something like 50 - 75 innings.

Looks like we don't think much of Cecil so far (~128IP) - I assume because a lot of us, myself included, are expecting him to repeat last year's performance and simply get shufflfed out of the rotation at some point before the all star break. Also, McGowan projected at 110IP so far - I assume an injury at some point. Is there an innings limit on McGowan this year anyway, or should they just pitch him until he breaks or wins game 6 of the World Series (franchise tradition of clinching in game 6)? There's only so many years you can save up innings in an arm until you have to spend them, to force an analogy.

Also so far, Snider 81 games, Thames 122 games, Davis 79 games, Rasmus and Bautista 140+, Francisco 60...that's a lot of games for one OF.

Ummmm... where's Omar Vizquel?  Tough to guess IF roles without him!  He'd be listed as a bench player for me.

Nevermind... found it :p

I realized something strange while I did this - it wouldn't surprise me if Arencibia led the team in games started this year. I just don't trust any of the regulars to be an "Iron Man".

92-93, I can see what you're saying, but there's no way I take that bet. I suspect Arrencibia won't crack the top 5.
