Ubaldo Jiminez is a bigger fluke than Livan Hernandez.
One of them is a 26 year old SP, in his third pro season, who is making the step from good to great after 80 starts (most pitchers see their biggest jump between starts 40-70). His K/9 is up, his BB/9 is down, and while his current W total is unsustainable, he's stepping up into elite SP status that most expected of him. The other is bucking 3 years of significant decline in his mid-late 30s. Maybe the healthy knee/weight loss is the difference that will help him get back to pre 2006 level for the full year.
The fluke this year is the continued great stats of Zack Greinke without any positive results.
