People forget he was lights out in Sept 2014 and was a huge part of the stretch run to clinch a playoff spot for the first time. Then he outdueled Chen in the ALCS to put us up big, and then pitched great in game 3 to put us up 2-1 on the Giants. He ran out of gas this year but he should feel like he was a part of this team's success.
Yeah, he produced some damned gutty performances - hence JGuts - that 2014 doesn't happen without. If 2015 doesn't happen, I'm not sure if we enter 2015 with the focus and drive to make the championship happen.

He didn't have it this year, but it doesn't mean he wasn't important.
