He did have the highest difference between FIP and ERA in the majors this past year. His barrel rate of 2.7% is just extraordinary.

I honestly don't understand how a pitcher with a 58% groundball ratio and 12 strikeouts per nine innings can have an ERA that high. It borders on incomprehensible.

In response to JoeMetz: "My fear with him is when these guys lose it, they seem to be done in a heartbeat."

Responses:

White Sox fans sound relieved to have him gone, which is fascinating to me. I guess when he does get barrelled, the ball goes 450 feet. -- nm - David Nov 17, 10:01 7
- Oh yeah when he’s bad, he’s real bad. We were just the worst possible spot for him because our defense is so putrid. -- (edited) - spamlet Nov 17, 10:11
- Maybe the Braves will change his last name and that will be the key. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 17, 10:03 5

      - Need to pair him with Brian Drivesinonerun, or else the game will take forever. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 17, 10:22
