It would be nice, if at some point, some season, theyd actually have a bad year.

He's over 9 fWAR the last three years, which puts him in the top 30 in the league, right around guys like Samardzija and Cueto and Latos, less than one WAR behind Bumgarner.

In a normal rotation, I think he's a solid guy to have in the 2-3 spot. Most teams don't have a bunch of guys like Scherzer and Verlander and Price and Fister to stack in front of him.

He was talking about Pawtucket's rotation in regards to him being a solid guy to have in the 2-3 spot.
