So he should be on track for what he was supposed to throw last yr (about 170 or a 20IP increase from his 06 workload). Kennedy threw 165 IP last yr and going by the formula, he should be on pace for 200IP.
Where do you see Joba throwing 135 innings last year? By my count he had 24 IP in the majors and 88.1 in the minors. Are you including winter league or something?
