More on Buchholz and the Mets
Photo by Michael BaronI found it interesting that the Mets activated Taylor Buchholz from the 60 day disabled list. After losing almost the entire season to depression the team could have easily justified out-righting him and hoping to resign on a minor league deal or even moving on altogether.

Has Taylor Buchholz been a good reliever?
Monday I made a big deal about Tim Byrdak and the difference in his effectiveness versus RHB and LHB. But the truth is that Byrdak does not have the biggest L/R platoon split among the team’s relievers. That distinction belongs to Taylor Buchholz, who has been murder against RHB and nearly as bad against LHB as Byrdak is versus RHB.
