I've yet to play a season of 2014 or 2015 where he doesn't get shoved into the bullpen, his ERA balloons to 7.5 or higher and he pitches less than 150 innings. And yet according to what's in the media, he's going into the 2015 season feeling stronger than ever.
I know you can only give the sim what the numbers are on paper... just a thought that Buehrle might warrant looking at some kind of "intangibles" variable that allows for guys who consistently defy the odds when it comes to age.

I thought the same thing when I saw that. He does seem to be underrated considering he has had a decent career and had a great start to last season.
