Cain was the Giants #1 starter, statistically, in 2007, 2010, and 2012. During two of the three years he wasn't the Giants #1 starter, he was the Giants #2 starter, and the Giants #1 starter (Lincecum) won 2 Cy Young awards. One thing Cain has been over the past 4 years is extremely consistent. This year wasn't an aberration, and his stats bear that out.

Is he is good as Verlander or Hernandez? No. Is he a damn good pitcher who has been a damn good pitcher for quite a while, yes. And he'll take the ball 32-34 times a year, as he's done every year for 7 straight years, and you'll never find a dead hooker in the trunk of his car.
