...or maybe he just isn't breaking his ass in the first year of a long term contract for a team with no playoff shot. Half of a season is not a trend of decline.
He's not yet 30 and he's been a stud for a while. Let's not forget that he plays for a horseshit team this year and in a bandbox. This guy is what we could only dream Bucholz wil become.
Nice game by the kid, but I hope the FO doesn't get a false sense of security and think they don't need another arm. The KC Royals had a 21 yr old batting cleanup tonight. They could be shutout hitting off a tee.
