I have to side with EH on this one. Happ has out-performed his xFIP by nearly one and a half runs, the largest disparity among all Major League pitchers. Jair Jurrjens is second, out-performing his xFIP by 1.12.

a .304 BABIP and 83% LOB % is quite lucky.particularly when you throw 88 MPH

Maybe 3 months ago you could speculate he was pitching over his head, but when he’s as consistent as he’s been it’s not luck

AL is a superior hitting division, see the DH.

Happ is pitching wayyy over his head, and the AL East CRUSHES lefties. he’d probably have a near 5.00 ERA.

Why would Happ get shelled in the AL? I really don’t understand why people think the AL is the superior league.

JP, should not be defended. He managed that whole situation horribly.

in defense of JP,

Happ would get absolutely shelled in the AL, particularly in the AL East. Donald is a horrible prospect and probably not an MLB player.

Word was the Red sox offered a ton for him? that’s the deal i would have done.
