Agree, good luck!
Buck did it right. Got drafted as a Jr and didn't go as he didn't have a signing bonus in the 15th round. The next year he went in the 5th round with a $200K bonus. Too bad Heddinger didn't do the same.

thanks @Stinger90
Liked these two comments about him
"one thing Farmer did was keep his composure. Even in spite of the early onslaught" and
"didn't let it get to him and enjoyed two straight quick third and fourth innings to help keep Detroit in the game early. The ability to do this after allowing home runs in consecutive innings certainly spoke volumes about the mental and physical mettle he possesses".

Buck will be making his sixth start tonight. Good to see him in the rotation but it still remains to be seen if he'll be a starter or a reliever.
How will Buck Farmer fare tonight for Detroit? http://www.mlive.com/tigers/index.ssf/2015/08/5_things_to_watch_9.html …

Not a great line, but he won't get the loss tonight.

Walks will kill you. 3 hits spread over 5.1 innings is pretty good. The fact that two of the three hits were dingers, maybe not so go. 60% strikes isn't too bad.

Sure he'll be improved over the next couple of years. Don't forget that Glavine and Smoltz were so hot their first year or so.

Buck called up again. Third year in a row. And steady improvement in his numbers: http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?P=buck-farmer
Hope he sticks this time. He certainly is getting a chance which is all anyone can ask for.
