If next year he puts up same numbers, he isn't worth more than 5M, do you think SD will risk offering him 14M?
Plus, that QO chance will cost them his salary for the year which is 5M or so. Not worth the gamble for them.
That's an interesting theory. One theory says don't let them pitch more than 100 pitches. Another theory says, they were healthier when they pitched longer.
They could have stopped Stroman before 100 but they pushed him on twice in a row now.
