Benoit posted impressive numbers in 2010 with a 1.34 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 11.2 K/9 over 60.1 innings for the Rays. However, he benefited from a .201 BABIP and 95.1% strand rate, two numbers that are very unlikely to be repeated. His BB/9 of 1.6 is also doubtful, considering his career 3.3 mark and having only once before being under 3.1 (back in 2004 when he was still spending time as a beginning pitcher). He also is two years removed from a 5.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP for the Rangers (he did not pitch within the Majors in 2009 because of rotator cuff surgery).
