Ineluki - would you care to place a friendly wager on that? The cutoff is 25 IP in most cases, and you can't set "avoid" with SPs with any effect the way you can with hitters or RPs, so both Cain and Maholm should get cards. In my sims Cain is getting an ERA of around 3.50 & a WHIP of 1.10, good but not insane, and Maholm is same ERA but higher WHIP. No question in my mind they will have cards in the 6-8M range. TSN only excludes when a player would have a truly whacked out impact on replay stats, and neither of these guys would...
Aybar is a way different case - highest OBP in the set vs RHP, switch hitter, only 80 PAs. He can easily sim out at an OBP of over .500 when set to avoid LHP, which almost guarantees exclusion....
