When David Phelps stepped in to replace an injured Henderson Alvarez in the Marlins rotation, I was very curious to see how he'd perform. The righty tended to pique my interest during his time in New York, where he averaged 8.0 K/9 over the past three years in a swingman role.
He didn't put up great numbers in 17 starts for the Yankees last year (4.28 ERA, 1.37 WHIP) but they also weren't terrible by any means, so I wondered what he might be capable of with the switch from the AL to NL.
So far, so good.
