Meh. There was a time Cubs fans thought Randy Wells (RIP) was good.

Randy Wells was good. Until he wasn't.

If this kid can give us Randy Well's first two years as a #4 or #5 on a good team (with Arrieta and Lester #1 and 2, natch), I'd take that in a goddamn minute.

More like Randy Welp, AMIRITE?

Anyway, Hendricks' FIP (Look at me I read Grantland) is 3.30 and it's been low throughout his minor league career. I say he can pitch at this level. Until he can't.

Right. Even if he ERA rises over time to meet that FIP I'll take a mid-3 ERA any fifth day. Gimme more Kyle. Gimme more.

There's been no indication at any point in his career to indicate that he can't continue getting motherfuckers out. Even as he makes his second round through the NL, he's shown himself to be a smart enough pitcher to be able to adjust to hitters as they adjust to him.

He'll just be a Quality Start Machine for years.

Really?  After six starts?  In that case, I think it's time we declare this whole Arismendy Alcantara Experiment a bust.  .231/.299/.380, are you kidding me?  Release his ass.  Nice goin', Epstink.

Alcantara has been able to hit at each level, even if he might not get off to a rip-roaring start - same thing with Baez. There's no reason to believe either of these guys shouldn't both figure out big-league pitching.
