I marked him down for 3.3. Doc's going to notice the absence of Hudson.
Talk about respect. His highest ERA choice is 3.90 and no one chose it.
Doc hasn't given any Jays fan any reason to believe he can't pretty handily achieve an ERA at least in the low 3's.
Being ever the optimist when it comes to truly special players (I hope that everyone would agree that Doc qualifies), I am staking my prediction at 2.70. There may or may not be a quantifiable difference (in relation to Doc's ERA that is) in having Hill patrolling second base instead of the O-Dog, but I also feel that Doc will be able to maintain his excellent K/BB, P/IP, GB/FB ratios while seeing an increase in his K/9 with the emergence of his change-up. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this was the beginning of a special run as Halladay enters his prime and puts up numbers not seen in Toronto since 1997/98.
"Doc's going to notice the absence of Hudson."Hill ovbsiouly isnt as great as hudson at second but he can hold his own. Last season in 22 games he committed one error giving him a .991 fielding %. Granted that is only a small sample,I think he will do just fine. But I'm excited to see what Hill can do with a full time position.
