Projecting the Yanks' 2009 staff

SNY compiled three major sources who project all sorts of stuff like this and here are the Yanks' 2009 projections, including this preamble (you'll have to hit the link for the details):

Again, don't let the stats blind or bias you. Everyone who is serious about projecting players knows it's an inexact science. In their best years, the various systems struggle to project even 1/5 of the players to within 10-percent accuracy.

199/236(!!!!)/3.12. That is an awful lot of innings and strikeouts (1.19 per inning) for Joba this year. I'm not saying it's not possible, but damn.
