    Default Jose Fernandez gets the call

    I don't know what hell is going on in Miami anymore.

    "Marlins purchased the contract of RHP Jose Fernandez from High-A Jupiter.

    It's a stunning move, as Fernandez, 20, has yet to appear in a game above A-ball and was a relatively early cut during spring training. He will join the rotation following shoulder injuries to both Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez. The team's top prospect and one of the best pitching prospects in the game, Fernandez posted a 1.75 ERA and 158/35 K/BB ratio over 134 innings between Low- and High-A last season. He's worth a shot in mixed leagues"

    There's a sentence in there that should really worry any Fernandez owner. They might ruin this kid. Although they expect to limit his innings to 150-170, all in the majors.

    Yikes.
    I'm probably going to take some heat for this, but I don't mind the move. He becomes their best pitcher IMO. I think he's durable enough that this won't ruin his arm, but it very well could.

    lol of course he's their best pitcher...he's on the Marlins

    Just think it's a little early to be doing this. If he gets knocked around and exposed to major league batters too early, bad for his confidence etc etc. I hope it works out though.
