2013 Starting Rotation Announced

[Miamarlin21]

I just mean that they don't plan on sending him down. I find that odd too I guess. This whole thing is like a bad dream.

They shouldn't plan on sending him down.

I'm excited to see him but TROLOLOLOLOLOL. He had like 2 innings in ST.

[Party]

This does not make any sense. Why are they going to start his clock when the team is nowhere close to being competitive and he's nowhere near ready? By the time this group is ready to compete, if they ever are, he's going to be arbitration eligible and you know they won't buy him out.

None of this makes any sense.

So by my calculation, Fernandez pitches again on Saturday, April 13 against the Phillies in Miami..

[Beef]

There's another day off in there. So maybe, maybe not.

Really surprising but its the Fish

I wonder how long it's gonna take for Carlos Rodon to make his ML debut when we draft him in June 2014?

[Beef]

They will be the first two pitchers ever to make quick debuts. Stupid Fish.

You don't agree that bringing uim up now with no experience above A-ball is stupid?

Or are you just making fun of tj?

@Buster_ESPN: RT @JCRMarlinsbeat: Beinfest on Fernandez, who has not pitched above high-A: "It just seems like he's ready to do this. This is where he should be." #Marlins

Yeah, ok Beinfest. They say the jump from high-A to AA is the biggest. What makes them think he's going to be just great going from A ball to the majors?

I don't agree with acting like its never happened before.

I also don't know that it's stupid. Just because it didn't work with some guys doesn't mean those guys were destined for greatness but got called up and lost all confidence or whatever other reasons people give.

Perhaps it's best to get more work at lower levels and more hands on work with ptching instructors, but he might get that stuff in the majors. I don't know. But what I won't do is act like its the most ridiculous thing ever just because its the marlins

Probably making fun of me however it is weird,would think they would keep him in AA for month or 2 atleast to keep his service days down

[Beef]

Yes - I'd say clock deal is perhaps somewhat odd.

But it'll be something interesting to watch

[dim]

Giancarlo Stanton, who hit nearly 40 home runs in single A, had to do AA. If Stanton wasn't ready for the majors (and he WASN'T), Jose Fernandez, who wasn't allowed to pitch more than five innings in any start, isn't ready.

This is absolutely insanely stupid, especially when this is a lost season and Jacob Turner makes much much much more sense to fill that space. Again, this is absolutely stupid, even if Fernandez dominates. Speeding up his clock for absolutely no reason.

Hell, Yelich is probably more ready to be in the majors than Fernandez (even if Fernandez is the better prospect), and I'd rather see him spend at least half a season in AA.

But that Beinfest statement, where they say "He just seemed ready"...Well, Mike Redmond made the EXACT SAME STATEMENT about Yelich. Why one over the other?
