BA Top 10 2015

Hugely small sample for Conley in the majors though. And keep in mind, he dominated in September but in June-August, he struggled to get through five innings in each start. Look, I think Conley has great stuff and the ability to be a #3 in the future. But he's not Andrew Heaney, who has more success at every level than Conley--sans those three starts dominate Conley had in the big leagues.

To be fair, he still had decent peripherals (3.93 xFIP in august).

To be extra fair, he faced shit teams in his great September: ATL (30th in runs), MIL (22nd), NYM (17th, really?), PHI (27th, twice), and TBR (25th)

Conley is good. Heaney is good. Ultimately, they may be equally as good or Conley may be better. But they're track records to this point suggest Heaney is ahead of Conley, even if only by a little.

Remember, Conley was a top prospect for the Marlins just two years ago. It's not like his game came out out of nowhere. He just wasn't supposed to be a future front-end type starter like Heaney was/is.
