Small sample size for sure but has Suppan ever have a season when he had a strikeout to walk ratio of 6 to 1? A whip of 1.11? Now I'm not saying this will continue for Fiers but so far so good. Way too early to say Fiers will be Suppan. He is not a hard thrower but his stuff looks better. He is striking out almost 1 per inning. Suppan struck out about 5 per 9 innings for his career.
