Fister
I still see Fister as just another version of Silva - he could potentially skirt thru for awhile via the great control - but Silva actually had better control AND lower HR numbers in the minors. 
I still view Snell as the most likely to pull a Kafka and become a legit #2 some day - though I'm not holding my breath.  His enemy is between his ears.
French is running an 8:1 K/BB in Tacoma, and Olson is at 5:1, just fyi.
The real intrigue is the next gen -- Robles, Pineda, Kenn K. 
That said - I completely understand why Fister is in the majors and French and Olson are on the farm.  Fister earned the spot fair and square.  But, every scan of Fister's minor league profile convinces me he's eventually dead meat against opposition that knows the strike zone.  (Not that I have any faith French and Olson are going to cure their gopheritis over night -- I think all three are AAAA guys).
But, hey -- if Fister is going to throw 3-hitters - I'll gladly keep bad-mouthing him.
