Marlins Sign Mark Buerhle to 4 Year, $58 Million Deal
Maybe they're worried they'll end up paying so much for Chris Volstad with more strikeouts (what he was in 2010).
--------------------
Of course he managed to put up the same WAR in 2010 as he did in 2011, so maybe I'm just an idiot.
Well 2010 was odd because he was pretty mediocre for the Dbacks but pretty awesome for the ChiSox
Had a paltry 67% LOB rate in Arizona
Either way, he's the best SP on the market and would be a really solid 3 for this team
They must really be expecting revenue to go up in 14 and 15.
-Well, the agreement with FOX/TBS is up in 2013
-ASG in 2015 (People will lock their seats in)
-Increased revenue from MLBN
-Price increases from successful '12-'13
He gave up 10.1 h/9 last year, had a 1.44 WHIP, .290baa, and his strikeout rate dropped 1.1/9 from 2010 and he still put up a 3.79era.
He confuses me.
His K rate dropped, so but so did his BB rate. His K/BB actually improved from 2.32 to 2.39 (basically a wash though). His HR/9 dropped as well from .90 to .72. If you regress his HR/FB to the mean I think he'll project more like his 3.73 xFIP last year than his 3.55 FIP. His 2011 3.79 ERA and 3.73 xFIP are nearly spot-on.
