He's beaten that mark each of the last 3 years, and ZiPS projects him for a 11.4 K/9 this year. Jon Gray, for some reason, has a 55 stuff, which projects for a 8.0 K/9, despite ZiPS projecting him for a 9.3 K/9 and having never been below 8.8 in the past.
Now, perhaps when I sim I'll find out that the player editor can't be trusted on that one, but my first impressions are that those ratings seem off.

The editor is not foolproof but it should be in the ballpark.
You might be right. I've reimported the ZIPS projections for a few starters and it generally ends up upping their stuff by a bit, though dropping their control from the original import.
So actually it may be the case that I need to do the same thing for any guys for whom I haven't already done so.
Let me know what results you get and if needed I'll add that to my to do list.
