It's too bad Fernandez is in our division. If they don't trade all these players off, the Marlins are going to be pretty good soon.

This is from rotoworld.
I'm not sure how you move him to 1B with LaRoche there.
Just gotta wait it out.
Ryan Zimmerman left Saturday's game against the Braves with shoulder soreness and will undergo an MRI.
Zimmerman made a horrible throw in the fourth inning that cost the Nationals two runs. Errant throws from third base are nothing new for him, and neither are shoulder issues. A move to first base needs to happen soon.

I doubt it. And Stanton will get traded before the start of 2016.

If I had to rank the Top 10 pitchers to pitch a game seven of a quinching game, I would go:
1. Kershaw
2. King Felix
3. Verlander
4. Scherzer
5. Price
6. Wainright
7. Zimmerman
8. Fernandez
9. Strasburg
10. M.Moore
I'm sure you think that but 30 starts in the big leagues isn't enough for me to say a guy is the 2nd best pitcher in baseball.
Wasn't Kershaw the best pitcher in baseball at that time? I think sometimes we have to take a long look at what we are seeing and make a conclusion. The guy just has everything you need to be a dominant starting pitcher. health aside I don't see how he isn't at the top (aside from kershaw) for the next 5-10 years.
Kershaw had a meh rookie year in 08 with 21 starts. Since then he has been as dominant as they get. Still at that time you still had Lincecum at the end of his run, Verlader, Halladay, Lee, etc being the best pitchers in the game. It really wasn't until 2011 that Kershaw became one of the top pitchers in baseball imo because that was the year he soared past the 200 innings limit. He's averaged right at 230 or so innings per year the last 3 years. Ad I think that's honestly what you have to do to be considered one of the best. Obviously have really good stats but also pitch deep into games.
Fernandez is definitely on the right path but it will likely be 2015 before he gets on that level.
I understand your argument but I just don't agree with it. I'm sure most would agree with you but I just feel that if you are that special player that you show it early. I'm sure guys thought after 30 starts that Kershaw was one of if not the best pitcher in baseball. I bet right now NOBODY wants to face Fernandez (aside from our franchise player).

Hard to say but they have a really nice, young nucelus.
Not sure they trade them.

Fernandez may be the best pitcher in our division.

It's all in the game.
Seriously, though, that happened to him at the beginning of his career, too. Hope he's ok.
Less rough start, more of a continuation of last season's end.
You don't have to sell me. Mac is going to fall off of a cliff soon. Might have a solid year this year but that wasn't a contract the Braves should have ever entertained.
