2013 Starting Rotation Announced

[nny]

Yeah he worked out from a performance side.

But that just makes the financial side that much more idiotic.

This.

[dim]

All they had to do was wait two damn weeks before calling him up and we have him under control for a full year more.

He was major league ready, but that doesn't excuse the Marlins for calling him up prematurely in a useless season.

[HUGG]

Yeah, sucks we cost whoever we trade him to in 3-4 years that extra year.

[emkayseven]

Eh, he'll probably end up like Livan anyway

[HUGG]

Not too worried about that extra year with a 27 year old rookie anyway.

[Namaste]

Yeah, sucks we cost whoever we trade him to in 3-4 years that extra year.

And bing-o was his name-o!

It's gonna be so awesome when we trade Fernandez in his prime.

[HUGG]

He'll be in his 30s in 3-4 years.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but if the Marlins waited a week or two into the season to call up Jose they would have had to deal with Super-2. With this, they get three full seasons of minimum pay.

...

3 full seasons of minimum pay and 6 years of control

Vs

3 full seasons of minum wage (minus 2 weeks) and 7 years of control

You really thinking having him for 2 more weeks at the minimum is better than having him for another full entire year?

[Cambridge]

He has a limit of 150-170 innings - will they option him after that? He has been allowed to go 6/7 recently and is on 104 2/3 so that is effectively 8-11 starts at 6 IP/Start. He is probably done by September.

[emkayseven]

Seems grievance worthy to option an all star at the end of the year when you don't need the roster space

[Miamarlin21]

They'll just shut him down like Strasburg was last year with Hand or someone taking his roster spot.

[emkayseven]

But he'll still accrue service time, won't he?

[Miamarlin21]

Yes. But optioning him down is a total dick move.
