And, even though the pitching projections don’t seem to be as effective as the offensive ones (maybe just because ERA is a less stable metric than OPS), here are the top 20 pitchers in projected ERA+ (min. 400 IP between 2004 and 2006):

R Clemens    160
J Santana    149
R Halladay   138
R Oswalt     133
C Zambrano   132
C Carpenter  132
B Webb       131
A Pettitte   123
D Willis     122
J Smoltz     122
B Sheets     122
B Arroyo     121
J Peavy      120
C Sabathia   118
K Escobar    115
