Best sample size for Berrios would be his time with the Jays. 12 last year plus thing year, probably slightly worse or same as career average. I’m not sure anyone is suggesting he’s as bad as these starts this year. But let’s not pump a 4.00 FIP pitcher as elite. He’s inconsistent. Has been his whole career. Still a really good pitcher to have but that’s the facts.
As for Manoah, he looks like a stud. Yes, there a little bit on fanboy thinking he’s this legit, but while he’s pitching like this and some of his gems last year, he deserves some homer optimism and it’s reasonable rn to have a lot more confidence when he’s pitching than smelly JB rn
