    Uh Oh...Jose Fernandez

    My pick to win the Cy Young Award this season is heading to the DL and is undergoing an MRI.

    It's really going to suck if this is another Tommy John situation.

    Thing is if it is not necessary, then having it done could unnecessarily cost two years of development.

    Hands down Johnny Cueto, MLB Network has had him #1 SP for the last 3 weeks in the Power Rankings. And if you go back to the last 3-4 years he has lowest ERA in the game.

    Can't stand these homer fukks! Take this shit to a Reds message board!!

    It's clearly Yu Darvish. Anyone with any sort of clue about baseball knows this.

    Darvish is better than Cueto, but Fernandez is better than both.

    He is not that good, he will be this year's Jeff Locke. Just like Locke early in the season last year, Teheran's 1.71 ERA does not jive with his 3.83 FIP and 3.75 xFIP. Negative regression is coming.

    Cueto's been outstanding as well.

    No offense to Fernandez, but I'd rank it:

    1) Wainwright
    2) Kershaw
    3) Cueto
    4) Felix
    5) Darvish or Verlander

    It's coming, but not like Locke's regression. He's much better than Locke in reality. Plus, he pitches for the Braves, which gives him the automatic invisible juice as a pitcher.

    Yeah Locke was over 4.00 on both of those sabre stats I think when his ERA was sub-2.00, so not AS much regression expected but still quite a bit of it.

    John Smoltz had perfect mechanics. He still had TJ surgery.

    why do so many non-asian players have arm surgery? they must investigate this.

    Sure. I just don't know how you could rate Fernandez better than Darvish and Cueto, given the consistent overall body of work and ability to win on the road -- two things JF had yet to accomplish.

    Should we look at Fernandez wins on the road or look at road advanced baseball stats?

    I'm not arguing Fernandez isn't great or even overrated. He's a Top-10 pitcher. I just don't know how you could say he's better than Cueto and Darvish.

    I may be spewing here but IMO, if pitchers are taught new mechanics when they've already been pitching one way already for their entire lives, isn't that more likely to cause an injury? "why try to fix what's not broken"

    "Winning on the road" means nothing, just as W-L record overall means nothing. Fernandez is second in the majors in both FIP (2.14) and xFIP (2.18). He leads the majors with 12.19 strikeouts per nine innings, and somehow combines that with a better than expected 49% groundball rate. And since you care so much, he was fine on the road last year so that is not an issue.

    I didn't say it was an "issue" -- I'm saying that, if you're going to compare him to established aces like Darvish and Cueto, I'd like to see a little more dominance in any and all settings, which includes his road starts.

    If you want to call him a good, very good or even great pitcher, by all means, go ahead. But if you're going to say he's better than Darvish and Cueto, you have to start nitpicking and judging at a very elite level.
