Jake Arrieta is Playing Above His Already High Ratings in The Show...

Just how good is Jake Arrieta?

Check out these stats from ESPN.com:

Quote:


	"With his no-hitter on Thursday, Jake Arrieta is now 15-0 with a 0.65 ERA in his past 17 starts. He�s allowed 61 hits in 125 1/3 innings pitched. Opponents are hitting .143 against him."

Not only is Arrieta dominating the mound in the real game -- he's actually doing so by putting up numbers which would make many playing a Road To The Show career pause for a second and ask, "Should I bump up the difficulty?"

Clayton Kershaw is rated higher than Arrieta at a 99 overall. Max Scherzer and Zack Greinke are both alongside Arrieta at 95 overall.

As hot as Arrieta is though, it makes you wonder should he actually be rated higher? Perhaps all the way to a 99 overall?

What do you think? Should Arrieta get an upgrade? Have you ever gone on a streak quite like Arrieta's over his past 17 starts?

Either way, with the new progression system, Jake is up to a 99 at the start of June in my franchise. I guess I'll see how high his individual ratings can go now
