    Awful. I don't even know what to say. Such a talented guy and from what I've heard, a great person, gone way too soon.

    Ramón Jiménez, Fernández's stepfather, defected from Cuba in 2005, settling in Tampa, Florida. Fernández attempted to defect unsuccessfully three times, with each failed defection attempt followed by a prison term. Fernandez, along with his mother and sister, defected in 2007. On that successful attempt, José's mother fell overboard when the boat hit turbulent waters, and José had to dive into the water to save his mother's life.

    If he can jump into turbulent waters and save another person how did he drown in the calm miami beach waters? Maybe there is more to the story.

    They crashed into rocks. 3 found dead. Swimming not a factor. It was the impact

    I'm in total shock right now. Feel numb. Brings back memories of when it was announced Thurman Munson died. This kid can't be replaced as a player or human being.

    Terrible news. I think it's too soon to call it an accident. A lot of things can happen at 3 am in the sea. Lets wait for the investigation.

    Kid was the best pitcher this year.

    Went to Mets Marlins gm few weeks ago sat right next to miamis dugout, these three Spanish kids behind us were screaming in the dugout talking to the players and I remember Jose Fernandez and Fernando Rodney talking to them for the half inning I asked my Spanish girlfriend what they're saying she's like the kids were asking for money and just fuckin around. They ended up calling them over to the dugout to give them signed balls. Just cool seeing him just talking to people in the stands during the gm nice guy.
