And he's, at best, the #3 pitcher in that rotation!

That was pretty cool. He still might get sent down, though.

I thought that ball was out of the park for sure. Good for Sanchez he had a guy back there that would have run through a wall to make sure he kept that no-no intact.

When you have a rotation like boston's its a little harder to ease in rookies.

He got his shot last year and blew it to the tune of an ERA over 6. :spaz:

My point still stands that any bum pitcher can randomly throw a gem.  This doesn't mean that Jonathan Sanchez doesn't suck.

Jason Bergmann and Shairon Martis have thrown gems.  They're having such terrific years as major league starters. :?

5.2 tonight, 1 ER, 4H, 3BB, 3K, at the team with the 4th best average in baseball, 8th in SLG, and 9th in runs.  You picked a lousy night to disrespect Buchholz.

Oh, and what part of <1 WHIP, 2.36 ERA, and 8K/9 in AAA is not outstanding for a 24 year old?

What's his career ERA again?  Oh yeah...

It's definitely outstanding.  You're completely obscuring my point.  Any pitcher can throw a gem - even a no-hitter - and follow it with a lot of really crappy outings.

Jonathan Sanchez's no-no does not absolve him of rightful criticism for being an overall mediocre pitcher, nor does tonight's solid outing by Buchholz.

Martis had a great CG earlier this year.  Look how far that got him.

:rofl: Bucholz's impressive MLB numbers from last year (1.76 WHIP, 6.75 ERA). :rofl:

Look, let's not turn this into SoSH.  Your the one who brought up his name.  I'm not missing your point.  I quoted a season stat at AAA.  If you want to talk career numbers in the minors and age, fine.  Here's the link - tell me what you don't like.  http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=buchho001cla
If you want to talk a half season in the majors at 23, you sound like the folks who would push Detwiler under a bus.  You picked lousy example to make your point, which is Small Sample Size should not fundamentally change your assessment of a pitcher.

Okay, Milwaukee is officially obsessed with trying to trade their farm system for win-now pitching aces.

Yeah, I think they're gonna regret trading LaPorta for 2 months and 5 days of Sabathia/playoffs in about 2 years.

I assume that's sarcasm.
