i can state pretty unequivocally that this is not true What is he? Good? This wouldn't be true. in 211 career innings, hendricks has 3.6 fWAR and a 3.62 xFIP yes, he's quite good especially when he's your 3rd or 4th best starter Straight from Fangraphs http://www.fangraphs.com/library/pitching/fip/ Excellent = 2.9 FIP Great = 3.2 FIP Above Average = 3.5 FIP Average = 3.8 FIP Below Average =4.1 FIP Poor = 4.4 Awful = 4.7 Okay so he is somewhere between Average and Above Average at 3.62 FiP thats not "Quite Good". I didnt say he was bad i said average.. turns out he is a little better than average but not quite above average..
