5. Jose Fernandez (1.7 WAR)

Jose Fernandez, despite being sidelined for the majority of 2015, ranks fifth on the team in WAR. When he did play, Jose drew fans into the stadium and posted eye-popping numbers.

2015: 4-0, 2.30 ERA, 1.75 FIP, 11.09 K/9, 2.09 BB/9

Pitching stats don’t come much more efficient than that. For a pitcher that hasn’t lost at home in his career, it’s truly a shame that he can’t seem to remain on the field.
