Unless of course those thumbs are down somewhere very naughty.

Based on what I’ve seen from him this year, he seems to give up an awful lot of hits on weakly hit balls. A team with better infield defense would do wonders for him. But if he continues to up his K rate then it’ll matter less, and he could be scary good.

Fister’s good, no doubt, and was really hot late last season, but he’s not a legit #1 nor is he close.

He’s too hittable. Great control, but not great stuff. Fun to watch, but prone to explosions of singles. A more than solid #2, however. When I see him, I think Tewksbury (33 lifetime WAR, 3.65 lifetime FIP), not Mussina.
