Bundy's propensity to get ahead (he had no choice) led to the demise of so many of his poor outings. Teams didn't even have to watch film to understand that he was going to throw a first pitch strike. At 89-92 MPH, it doesn't really matter if it's on the black if you know that it's coming. I loved that he became more of a pitcher, and just think if he still had that extra 5-7 MPH on the FB. He just had zero margin for error, missing his spot with his fastball by a couple of inches, in this ballpark vs. these lineups, see ya. I feel like people have made more excuses for what Wieters became than Bundy (I suppose a couple of AS appearances helps). He's been a solid MLer which is plenty more than most can say about other #4 picks.
His work ethic and the way that he handled himself are unrivaled. I wish that he could have gone the distance in his final start vs the Blue Jays. Felt a little like when Manny was yanked in the middle of the Rangers game after he had taken Minor deep before the AS break. I'm not sure that I can count on all my phalanges how many runs the bullpen (particularly Bleier) cost him with inherited base runners. Letting a lineup see him three times was usually asking for disaster, but I think Hyde was a little quick with the hook in a few instances.
Well, anyway, he was by far my favorite player on the team. My kids and I went to almost all of his home starts this year, and I'm glad that we did. He was always such a nice guy. Would always introduce himself to you, "Hi, I'm Dylan."
My answer to the poll is none of the above. Closest answer is that I didn't want him to be traded, period. He needed to be traded, but what were they going to get for him? Not much. No use throwing away 15M on him over the next two years, though.
