It absolutely could happen like you predict. No one has killed him yet at any level though, so I'm gonna believe in him until he gives me a reason not to

It depends on what you are expecting. There are a number of guys in that general K/9 range that produced 2+ WAR in 2017.
Fulmer, Stroman, Cobb, Leake, Santana, Cobb. Many others hovering above 1 WAR.
It can work, but the margins are real tight.
I wouldn’t expect his stuff to improve too much but maybe sequencing, command?
Allard is our most underrated pitching prospect
I've seen a couple of Allard's starts this year, and he doesn't throw hard, but appears to locate fairly well, and can throw three pitches for strikes.
It's unfortunate...I look at someone like Tom Glavine and wonder if he could have succeeded in this baseball era.
Haha, yeah, I was saying that I wanted Soroka this year but wanted to see Hernandez fired first...oops. Although given who Soroka has been said to be (groundballer and control artist) you can make an argument he sadly is actually hurt and not harmed by Chuckie and was excited to be in the big leagues so he tried to pitch through it before telling someone.
I've wondered on Glavine too, he probably still has success but not HOF caliber success and maybe a quicker downturn.
Heyman’s latest column says Hernandez has as fired or believed he had been fired before Coppy went down.
I read the same article and found it very interesting.
This is an aside, Heyman seems like he’s completely phoned it in since he went to FRS. Most of his articles now are listicles about players he thinks could be traded and he assigns arbitrary odds for what teams he thinks will sign him. It seems few and far between where he actually shares insider information. It’s a shame too because I used to really admire his work.
Touki dealing early. 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K.
Touki likely done: 6 IP, 6 H, 2 ER/R, 0 BB, 10 K. Whew.
