The big question concerning Bumgarner: Over the past three seasons he had a 2.67 ERA at home, 4.61 on the road. Will he be as effective away from pitcher-friendly San Francisco? And while's only 30, he has a lot of mileage on that left arm. A risky signing, but I wouldn't want to bet against MadBum.
