Crystal Ball: Adam Loewen
Here's a toughie. I can see this one going any number of ways. Does his command improve? Does he get hurt? This is a fairly optimistic assessment that assumes good health and early durability, but a shoulder injury and an early burnout in his 30s.

couldn't you give him....
Who are Loewen's comps, John, by the by? What major leaguers have had similar careers--with low HRs, high Ks, & high BBs?

pessimistic..I have to agree
...but, if projecting a shoulder injury that essentially ends his career before age 30 is considered an "optimistic" projection, I'd hate to see what you consider to be "bad"...AL EAST or not, Loewen has more ability than what's projected here...
