Is there some fundamental baseball reasoning that I don't understand to explain why, given the circumstances, Buchholz has been categorically ruled out as a starter for the remainder of the season? I know I've read that his mind grasps longman status better, but this seems silly to me. He's put up better than or at least equitable stats compared to Fogg, our #3 man (remember the good ol' days when we were arguing about whether or not he was good enough to be #5?), and yet he's out of the question.

What am I missing here?
