Approval #2.
I'm happy with it and wouldn't want to see it any higher. Here's a list of the career innings pitched of the top 20 active pitchers through the 2015 season. Even though Fernandez is still somewhat young, he has a lot of mileage on his arm. (Special kudos to the Mariners for remembering to do a re-sign this year!!!!
