Unfortunately, Buchholz has another no-brainer team option for 2017 at $13.5. Note, the option increases to $14M if he finishes 1st or 2nd in CY voting this year!
I don't really think he's mentally fragile. He seems physically fragile though. Guys with his frame and injury history don't typically have long careers.
I understood that. My point is that you don't accumulate runs without getting people on base. Clearly there was more than one bad pitch. The one bad pitch analysis is completely bogus imo, especially when the guy allows 4 walks and 5 hits. It's not like he was throwing a gem.
If he had a positive WAR in 2014, the claculation is nonsense. Just look at his other stats. They are horrible. Until there is only one way to calculate WAR, it's a nonessential stat to me.
