For a GB pitcher, the upgrade of Hudson over The Rose Bush [Kent] is rather dramatic. Throw in Furcal as well. And minus Pierre [Manny is an upgrade]. All of that more than makes up for what you suspect will be a regression of a half dozen more HR allowed. Almost forgot, but I wouldn't call it "slightly surpassing". The difference in ERA is .39. That's one less run every third game, or 10 starts of 30 with one less run than projected. And I'm being generous here, as 3 x .39 is greater than 1.0.
