You know who really grinds my gears? Former Yankee Ivan Nova who simply won't stop being boring yet producing after going 8.0 IP, 2 ER, 5 Hits, 0 BBs, 3 Ks (a CG since the Pirates lost on the road), now making his entire stay in Pittsburgh add up to a 2.80 ERA with just three walks to his name across 84.2 innings and 14 starts. I totally get anyone wanting me to list him as Top 50. Why not, that ERA is pretty great for close to 100 innings! Yeah, notice how I didn't mention his 6.38 K/9 over that time or the 33.2% hard contact allowed prior to this outing. Obviously keep rolling with him, but don't go paying dolla dolla for him on the trade market. This is your standard sell high procedure and don't second guess it. Nova isn't this year's Kyle Hendricks.
Let’s see how every other SP did yesterday:
