He looked very pedestrian as of late, but his overall season stats still makes him a TOP 20 pitcher for this season. And, he has tools that project him as a TOP 5 pitcher in the future at the very...

No love for the Cuban phenom.

Could've went the distance but they are babying his arm

Cingrani vs Fernandez tonight

Cabrera shouldn't even be in the discussion. Barring any significant injury, He will more than likely eclipse 3000.

The topic says under 25.

Very, very few have had debuts as impressive as Fernandez, and when they did, they went on to win Cy Young at some point in their careers.
THE PHEMON: 2 G | 0.82 ERA | .727 WHIP | 4.1 H/9 | 4.33...

Who knows? If he regresses, we'll eventually see it one way or another, but for right now, he is playing some of the best baseball in the league right now, although he did have a negative rWAR in 82...

But, has Fernandez actually ALLOWED those 3 (earned) runs in the next 4 innings? NO. until he does, he is numero uno. WAR is an accumulation stat in its entirety, and not a rate stat, by any stretch...

I don't understand how all these guys that have more service time in THE SHOW should get preferential treatment for the mere fact that "they did it longer". If someone comes after you, and is...

I don't see Marlins letting Fernandez go at all, unless he regresses (which is highly unlikely). He is Miami's native son. And, he has best player in the majors potential and is already a TOP 5...

He's not an economical pitcher, but that doesn't take away from his natural talent. He's one of the most dominant pitchers in recent memory. He is a TOP 5 pitcher talent IMO.

fWAR/600 PA, rWAR/600 PA & WPA/600 PA are the best value stats in the MLB. That's why I use it. Trout's value in the same # of PAs is more than 2X the value of Andrus. That's very telling. So what if...

CAREER (UPDATED 04-14-2013)
Andrus: 3.02 fWAR/600 PA | 2.97 rWAR/600 PA
Bumgarner: 3.50 fWAR/200 IP | 2.92 rWAR/200 IP
Fernandez: 9.09 fWAR/200 IP | 10.91 rWAR/200 IP
Harvey: 4.67 fWAR/200 IP |...

GTFO I'm taking Sale over Castro without hesitation

My rankings of the TOP 5 players under 25 who will go on to have best careers just based off talent:

1. Fernandez (GOAT potential IMO)
T-2. Trout (TOP 10 potential)
T-2. Harper (see Trout)
4....

FERNANDEZ
0.82 ERA | 11.0 IP | 486 ERA+ | 0.727 WHIP | 4.33 K/BB

Yes only 2 games, but possible the most impressive debuts from a player (20 a that) I've ever seen in recent memory. He can be...

What's his WAR?

Shelby Miller: 4.61 fWAR/200 IP | 7.69 rWAR/200 IP
Matt Harvey: 4.67 fWAR/200 IP | 7.37 rWAR/200 IP

WOW you're right. They're eerily similar career-wise.

CAREER
Andrus: 3.02 fWAR/600 PA | 2.97 rWAR/600 PA

Bumgarner: 3.50 fWAR/200 IP | 2.92 rWAR/200 IP
Fernandez: 9.09 fWAR/200 IP | 10.91 rWAR/200 IP
Harvey: 4.67 fWAR/200 IP | 7.37 rWAR/200 IP...

Harvey vs Fernandez would be fun to watch in the future. Potentially, just as interesting as Trout vs Harper IMO.

Bumgarner
Fernandez
Harper
Harvey
Moore
Sale
Stanton
Strasburg
Trout

I said you don't need an arm to play 2B not 3B

Wrong. Easiest to hardest as follows:

1B - LF - RF - 3B - 2B/CF - 2B/CF - SS - C

You don't need a strong arm to play 2B like 3B, but you are involved in way more plays and you need crazy range....

Catcher, for the ability to call games alone.

The Phenom debuts tomorrow afternoon at Citifield.
