November 12, 201312 yr 26 of 30 first-place votes Puig got the other 4, so it was a two-horse race til the end. Still, not close at all.
November 12, 201312 yr Time for Fernandez to get his 3rd place NL Cy Young spot and finish up the best rookie season in Marlins history. Gonna be fun to watch him over the new few years. Wish I could say the same about the rest of the team.

Wish I could say the same about the rest of the team. Kinda hard to believe he had a better rookie season than Dontrelle but he actually did!
November 12, 201312 yr Chris Johnson threw his tampons at the TV when Fernandez was announced the winner of the award.
November 12, 201312 yr I much hell as I go through with the Panthers and Marlins, we got two rookies of the year in the same year. That's pretty freaking cool.
November 12, 201312 yr Fernandez became my fave marlins when he jumped up and jumped up and jumped up when Stanton tied it with that Homerun. Guys the best, man.
November 12, 201312 yr Author I hope Fernandez goes on to have a better career and/or tenure with the Marlins than the other 3 ROY winners did.
November 13, 201312 yr So if you haven't seen the video on mlb of Jose reuniting with his grandmother... wow, good stuff. http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?content_id=31220231
November 14, 201312 yr Congrats to Jose. He's a great story and an even better person. Nothing but happy to seem him be able to succeed. Now we just need his fellow young stud pitchers to step up next season and hopefully it's not a complete mess
November 20, 201312 yr Sure glad the Marlins didn't start Fernandez in AA-ball this year, like a lot of guys on here wanted to last April.
November 20, 201312 yr Sure glad the Marlins didn't start Fernandez in AA-ball this year, like a lot of guys on here wanted to last April. Nobody expected him to be THIS GOOD this year.
November 20, 201312 yr Author Only the Marlins' front office did. I doubt they expected him to be as good as he was. They just thought he was big league ready.
November 20, 201312 yr I wish they would've left him in AA last year. We would have the #1 pick in the draft and kept Fernandez for another year. Individual accolades really don't mean much to me.
November 20, 201312 yr The Marlins have the money to pay Fernandez and keep him in Miami for his entire career, period. They will have to ante up some of that revenue sharing check to keep him instead of buying more art for Loria's collection.

That still doesn't mean that they should have spent a year of eligibility on a throw-away season.
November 20, 201312 yr It's not throwing away a season. It's taking advantage of a young pitcher being not only ready for the majors, but to excel in them. The Marlins act like a small market team, but Miami is anything but a small market.

A small market is like Portland, Oregon......not Miami, Florida.
