I'm not saying there isn't an issue but I would give it several more starts. See how he turns out over the year. Not only that but see if it continues the next year as well. I'd wager to bet he'll significantly improve.

Take a look at Verlander's career stats. One of those years doesn't look like the other, 2008. FYI he started that year after 8 starts 1-6 with 6.43 era.

Also no one would have expected Lincecum to go from a 2.74 ERA in 2011 to a 5.18 era last year 2012. He was 2-3 with 5.77 era in his first 8 starts. Also no one would have expected Roy Halladay to go from a 2.34 in 2011 to a 4.49 ERA in 2012. he now currently as 7.63 era in 2013.

So personally I wouldn't call it unrealistic just an unlikely start.

Just my 2 cents. Again, not saying it's not an issue just giving my take on it.
