As of now it's looking like Luis Mendoza will take Sanchez's place.

ERA doesn't mean shit though.

Humber has an xFip of 4.02, which is where you expect him to be. Danks, on the other hand, has one of 4.74, which is shitty considering he's the supposed ace, but its getting lower, and lower each time.

xFIP... does not compute...

I don't know about xFIP, but how is their xFAP? :fap:

xFip is even more refined than Fip.

I was mostly poking fun because I've used similar arguments about Chris Volstad, and have been called a for it by some in this forum.

 

[DewsSox79]
