He also had a better year then Santana last year in a month less. He "only" won 13 games, but 1) anyone who uses wins as a real stat shouldn't be in the discussion and 2) he had 10 no-decisions without pitching the last month. That's insane.
His injury last year was an oblique strain. Everyone had an oblique strain last year. He was held out of the rest of the year mostly because there was no point in bringing him back unnecessarily.
He's spent essentially two full seasons without any major injury issues. He is under a team's control for an additional year compared to Santana, and will cost less to extend.
