you're being silly, c43. he's had an entire career of being an average to poor pitcher. his stats suggest that this year, the only thing he's doing differently is walking fewer batters (important) and giving up fewer homeruns (almost certainly pure luck). and you're treating him like he's the royals' second best pitcher because he's got a nice era - a relatively meaningless stat for a relief pitcher.
he would never pitch in a playoff game before the 12th inning, and you know it.
