Mark Buehrle is 4 wins away from 200, and is 10-1 this season.

Mark Buehrle is such a good underrated pitcher.
He now has 196 wins and just turned 35, so he has a chance at 250 if he stays healthy.
He's having the best start of his career, at 10-1 with a 2.10 era.

He has been dealing so far. I hope it continues.

He was 3rd/4th on the depth chart to start the 2013 season. No doubt he is the ace now (sorry R.A.).

I have always felt Buehrle has been under the radar for sometime. I wish he was still with the Whitesox and was doing this. Him and Sales would be a great Leftie Leftie combo to have in a starting rotation

Wow I NEVER realized how many innings he has pitched in his career. 13 consecutive seasons of 200+ IP, and is on pace for 14 seasons. He will also have 3,000IP in roughly 8 or so starts. He is the modern day Iron Man. Very impressive.

Don't think Buerhle has to worry about Tommy John surgery. Anybody think he has a shot at the HOF?

SINFULONE · Jun 2, 2014

I don't think he gets in HOF.Dude is durable though, he never gets hurt.

If Bert Blyleven can make the HOF, then of course Buehrle has a shot. Probably won't get the votes, but still has had a remarkable career.

Let's talk when Buehrle has almost 290 wins and 3700+ Ks

Those statistics don't happen in today's day and age....the game is completely different in terms of pitching with pitch counts, etc. The active leader in wins is Tim Hudson (211) at age 38 who is having a remarkable season, but won't even sniff 240 wins before he is retired. Next two are Sabathia and Buehrle. Sabathia has 208 wins and his career is trending downwards, but at one point he was said to have the best shot at near 300 wins.

As for IP the same 3 pitchers are top 3 in that category. Buehrle will be the only active pitcher with 3,000 IP when he gets it.

Buehrle and Blyleven will both be looked at as very good pitchers from their respective eras. Both were 'Iron Men' who gave you hundreds of innings every year for decades. Both got their World Series ring but neither pitcher were known as dominant compared to Koufax, Seaver, Pedro, etc....Buehrle actually has a slightly higher ERA+ with a 119 compared to 118 so you can not say one was better than the other, Blyleven just did it for a longer period of time.

+ 2 no-nos including a perfect game
- never won 20 games

Would need at least 250 wins, maybe another no-no and another WS

A WS this year would work for me.

Now those trades AA made look a little sweeter now. Sucks that they lost Henderson Alvarez in the trades though.

SINFULONE · Jun 4, 2014

If Mussina doesn't get in, I don't see how Buehlre gets in.

maxe0213 · Jun 4, 2014

No way he makes it. He's been good but never a great pitcher. It'd be a joke if he made it over some other pitchers

Someone like Morris?

jrosales · Jun 5, 2014

I'd sooner put Buehrle in before Morris. And I don't think Buehrle's a HOFer. That just really goes to show how little I think of Jack Morris as a HOF candidate.

SINFULONE · Jun 5, 2014

Morris is a very fascinating candidate.I can see the pros and cons for him.
