Okay, I was looking at some stats on Hardball Times and decided to make a comparison between last season's Reds staff and what I project as this season's 12-man staff. The stats are all from last season, so it doesn't take into account performance over a career. Still, I think it shows where there's been a drastic improvement.

Here are the two staffs I used to compare:

2004
Rotation: Lidle, Wilson, Harang, Acevedo, Claussen
Bullpen: Graves, Jones, Riedling, White, Norton, Wagner, Van Poppel

2005
Rotation: Milton, Wilson, Ortiz, Harang, Hudson
Bullpen: Graves, Weathers, Weber, Mercker, Acevedo, Wagner, Hancock

Total Runs Scored Above Average for 2004: -111
Total Wins Shares Above Average for 2004: -35

Total Runs Scored Above Average for 2005: -26
Total Wins Shares Above Average for 2005: -13
