Elder is definitely not an ace or even close to a TOR arm lol this is just a linsanity run. However, he's potentially transforming into a solid back-end piece and I couldn't be more thrilled.

Elder is this generations Sandy Koufax. Maybe better

What more does the man have to do to convince you? He may not have wow stuff but he also doesn't get injured every 5 minutes like every other SP we have. It’s like the turtle and the hare. Slow but steady wins the race. Used to be taking the mound every 5th day and going 6+ innings was a requirement to even be an ace. Theres still room on the bandwagon for you.

To convince me that he’s better than a number 3? How about not having an FIP over 3?

I don’t care what number you put on him. I just remember how upset some of you were that he might actually be in the rotation this season.

Basesd off fangraphs xfip less than 5 SP would qualify. That's a brutal standard. I dont onie uniform fip is different. Xfip has x in it thus it must be superior.
