Which Pitcher would you trade MB for

Um...

 

You mean,

 

Jeremy Bonderman

 

Right?

What's wrong with Jeremy? A fine choice. He'll probaly be the best pitcher in the AL in a short 2-3 years.

Mind you, SportNews recently did poll to find out every pitcher in MLB who even has a legit shot at winning 200 games. They only came up with 2 names- TIm Hudson and Mark Buehrle.

 

A 300 game winner would be something very special, even if it is doubtful from this point in his career.

Peavy, Santana, Halladay, Sheets

 

That's it, that's all no more no less those are the 4.

:notworthy

All things considered--contracts, age, etc--Felix Hernandez, Johan Santana, Jeremy Bonderman, Jake Peavy, Doc Halladay, Ben Sheets.

Mark has proven himself to be basically the most reliable pitcher in either league. Innings, quality starts, not particularly injury prone.

 

There is no one else who matches him in all of those categories. Some pitchers have better stuff than him, but aren't as durable, and the guys who are as durable don't have as good of stuff.

Felix Hernandez most likely will be good, but he is unproven so I'm not sure about that one.

I'd trade him for Johann, Peavy, Oswalt, Halladay currently. Prior when healthy. That's about it. BMac is a whole different story.

 

Oh, I almost forgot Mike Maroth and Kerry Wood

Mark is one of only a few who you know what you're getting out of him.

 

I wouldn't trade Mark for anything though. Him and Frank are and deserve to be the faces of this franchise. If I had an absolute do not trade list, Mark goes on top.

See, trouble is, you can't just trade for the "Healthy" prior, you have to trade for Prior in general. Ditto Johan, Halladay, Oswalt (don't know Peavy well enough). Each of those guys has been down with injuries or underperformed in the last 2 years.

 

I wouldn't trade Mark's combination of talent and reliability for anything.

 

Plus, those hour and 50 minute games sure are fun.

I see where you guys are saying contract and age, but i wouldnt ever trade Mark Buehrle he is the best we have know and the best we will have in the future.

When did Oswalt or Johan injure themselves or underperform. Oswalt had a groin thing a few years back but that's a fluke.

He'll never be a monster pitcher.

Buehrles lifetime stats

76-46 3.68 642

 

 

Buehrle is also 2 years younger

 

Almost the same stats Buehrles youner and he probaly wont go out an ditch us when his contract runs outs.

I heard this question on the score as well and the first name that came to mind was mark mulder. both boys would get sent home. however, I LOVE BUEHRLE!!

I always thought Oswalt was older for some reason.

Oswalt only pitches 21 games in 03. The Stros should have had a dominant staff that year but everyone was hurt, and kept getting hurt repeatedly.

 

Santana had elbow surgery about 2 or 3 years ago.

Santana and thats it.

As a PR guy, I wouldn't trade Buehrle now. He's so damn good for the White Sox pissing off the Cubs. I f'n love it.

Peavy, Santana, Halladay, Sheets

 

That's it, that's all no more no less those are the 4.

 

What has Sheets done in his career?
