There are obvious examples as to why FIP isn't perfect...Brandon Morrow and Drew Hutchison being two in recent memory.
Instead of blindly clinging to your faith that FIP is the be all and end all, maybe try and investigate why that is. There may be more to discover than you think.
Statheads please explain this one:
Why is Hutch so bad if his FIP is so good?
And how come pitchers can control how many home runs they give up but not how many doubles off the top of the wall they give up?
GUYS come on. Hutch is clearly just getting really unlucky.
I bet his BABIP is really high and we all know that pitchers have zero control over what happens with balls in play.
I'm a doctor. Sounds like Carrasco had atrial flutter or fibrillation that was ablated (most likely flutter), judging by the descriptions he gave as well as the physicians stating the procedure was non invasive. Does not affect his value whatsoever as it is not disabling or life threatening - at least in the short term, unless he also has a very rare complication (wolf-parkinson-white, HOCM) which is very unlikely.
