This is clearly dampening expectations. Especially for year one. Look at Yu Darvish, his era dropped an entire run between the first and second season. There's an adjustment period. I am not saying Tanaka is Darvish (I hope he is!!) but it's the same thing. If Tanaka comes out with a eras around 4 fans will be all over him in NY as he's being played up in the media as a savior. Cashman has to do his best to keep that from happening.
