0.37 runs doesn't sound like a lot, but it's pretty substantial. And compared to the league as a whole, we aren't dominating the way we did in 2005 (remember, offense is down across the board). Taken together, I think it's pretty fair to say our pitching hasn't been close to 2005.
Our starters wont end up being anywhere near as good as 05 but I do believe that top to bottom that our pen will be better. And before anyone goes nuts, I'm not saying the back 3 will be better but overall I like this pen better than the 05 one.
