Which one will come back to Earth this year

All 3 had great years. Will Puig implode or will Fernandez get sprayed all over the park? Can Roark pitch like that again?

Roark........not even close; he doesn't come near to having the raw talent of the other two. Puig may be a head case and Fernandez may be a hot head, but their formidable raw talents should help them both approach their productions from last year,if not meet them...Roark (with average MLB fastball) will definitely come down to earth.

Roark will not approach his number from last year. However, I think Puig is in for a rude awakening. He showed up to ST at 20 lbs overweight and has the attitude like he has "made it." Fernandez is a hot head, but he seems to harness it fairly well.

No doubt in my mind Fernandez will be great again. Top notch velocity, decent command, and a plus slider, as well as being a year older. Puig...not so much. He'll hit his moonshots and make his highlight reel throws, but I think he will be massively inconsistent this year.

Don't forget that curveball; "wicked" doesn't do it justice.
