He walked fewer. But he was well within the margins of the perfectly suitable Anibal Sanchez that's existed without so much as an All-Star appearance for the past seven seasons.

Where I land here is that I think if he deserves this contract now then he would have deserved if if he'd finished exactly the same season with the Marlins. But I don't think he'd have gotten it. That's sort of dumb but sort of awesome for him.
