Mix in the fact that it was his first full season, and that's he at a younger, more injury prone age than Hallady, and you have a significant difference.

Thanks for addressing my point, Aadik.
What you say makes perfect sense. I was just looking at it from a strictly "wear and tear over time" point of view.
I have to say though, I'm still not quite ready to crucify Baker for his starting pitcher usage...yet.
