When the Miami Marlins came to terms with Wei-Yin Chen on a lucrative five year, $80 million contract, the team looked much different. They had a bonafide ace in Jose Fernandez on staff, and Chen was expected to complete a formidable 1-2 punch.

That never materialized. Chen managed to stay mostly free of injury during his four years in Baltimore, making over 30 starts in three of those years. In his first season with Miami, he battled injury and made a career low 22 starts. This season, that number is down to five.
