Your 2010 AL Cy Young winner makes his debut in just over 2 hours

After reading some of da numbahs, King Felix definitely deserved it.  Congrats to him.

From the BBWAA site: The Mariners’ run support for Hernandez was 2.4 per game. Seattle scored two or fewer runs in 15 of his starts. He was 2-10 with a 2.84 ERA in those games. In his nine no decisions, Hernandez pitched to a 1.92 ERA. Let’s not forget he also led the league in innings and ERA and finished second in strikeouts.

There are no advanced stats in that paragraph, but it does a good job of capturing Hernandez’s season and explaining why his small win total is fairly meaningless.

Maybe writers made their decisions based on a series of numbers they looked up on FanGraphs and BaseballProspectus. Or maybe they just took a more nuanced look at the stats we’re used to seeing.
