for two games, he's looked like an ML star.
.................
How does this reconcile with his AAA stats?  ... because he was running a 0+ walk rate.  His CTL was like 7:1, and CTL is the single most important metric on a pitcher.
Fister's stats this year, in AAA, were sensational.  We'd have perceived that, provided that we ratio'ed strikeouts to walks first, as we should.
.................
What is shocking, though, was that Fister leaped a plateau very suddenly, as Mark Lowe did a couple of years ago.  12-18 months ago, Fister was not pitching like this and was not much of a prospect.
Something happened, and he started throwing the stuffing out of the ball, and the M's were quick to readjust their label.
Fister's transition from July 2009 to August 2009 was not shocking, but his transition from 2008 to 2009 was.  :- )

I'd sure like to hear, from Fister, what the Eureka was.
