Adam Wainwright was apparently snapped back into existence at some point in the offseason, because the 37-year-old looks like he’s been resurrected to his former self. Or maybe that’s just a trick of eyes looking from at his ERA without checking the peripherals. Waino’s 3.73 in the main box score category is better than he’s put up in years, but his 4.91 FIP and 4.60 xFIP are higher than in any previous season.
