Past Fantasy Outlooks
2010
2009
2008
2007
2006
Buckner opened the 2009 season in the rotation at Triple-A Reno and the results were encouraging enough for him to get a look from the D-Backs when injuries depleted their starting depth. He fell prey to a slightly bloated .347 BABIP and very unfortunate 61.3 percent strand rate, ultimately turning his 16 appearances into something that looks much worse on paper than in actuality. If he's going to stick in the back of the D-Backs' rotation, Buckner needs to cut back on the home runs (1.40 HR/9IP) and continue to improve his command (3.38 BB/9IP). Eventually, a permanent conversion to the bullpen will be in order if he's unable to secure a rotation spot, but Buckner has the tools to be a useful No. 4 or No. 5 starter if the D-Backs elect to fill out the back of their rotation with internal candidates.
