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. The 29 y/o right hander will cost the team under 1M to keep and maybe showing him the...

Taylor Buchholz - A Man's Man Comes Clean About Depression

It was not thought of to be anything major, but a month and a half later, there have been no sightings of the Mets righty reliever. Just recently...
