Past Fantasy Outlooks
2017
2016
2015
2009
Buchanan opened camp last year competing for a rotation spot, but was quickly eliminated from the competition and sent down to the minors. He spent his entire season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, failing to even earn a look in September despite holding a spot on the Phillies' 40-man roster. Buchanan wasn't bypassed for a promotion because he struggled in Triple-A, his numbers were as mediocre as ever. The Phillies wanted to look at some of their younger pitchers and that will continue to hold true as the team goes through its rebuilding process. Buchanan is slated to pitch in Japan in 2017.
