:lolhitting 5-Star Service. Super-quick delivery.

He was auditioning for the Cards...

Uh-oh. He passed the audition.

If my math is correct, the Twins > Pujols.

Mark stemmed the tide for the AL-proud of him as usual

I missed all but the last three innings of the game because of work. I had to wait till the BBTN report to see the Prez in a Sox jacket and never did see MB. What a shame that work interferes with life.

If he is serious about retiring at contracts end - as much as I hate to say it - if they want to give us Rasmus. I'll take it.

Got a question of the most boring day of the year. But it is related to Buehrle (mods, feel free to break off into new thread, if needed).

 

Is Mark Buehrle a Hall of Famer?

 

OK, so he won't get to 300 wins or 3000 strikeouts and he's only been in the top 5 of Cy voting once...

 

But, let me give you some stats off the top of my head:

 

- Been more or less the #1 starter for the Sox since 2001

- Double digit wins in ever season he's been a starter

- Lifetime ERA of 3.79

- More than 200 IPs in all but his first season, which was mostly as a reliever anyway

- Top 10 in ERA 4 times

- Won a World Series.

- Been to 4 AS games

- He is currently eighth all-time in wins and innings pitched by a pitcher in a White Sox uniform.

- Started every season opener from 2002-2006, 2008-2009

- Threw a no-hitter

 

 

I know his career obviously isn't over and a lot of things can happen, but let's say MB continues on his same pace until he retires. Here's why I ask...of course if you look at the pitchers that are currently or will shortly be in the Hall, MB doesn't stack up. BUT, how much cache does a player get for the little known stats? Also, the criteria is going to change. Do you think the Hall will look at the fact that he was the White Sox best pitcher for so long?

 

Discuss.

Right now? Heck no.

 

If he pitches like he does, until he's about 41 or 42, then he's got a decent shot. If he does that, and wins a Cy somewhere in there, I say he's probably in. He's just really good, he has a WS ring already, is only 30, has a low effort and highly consistent motion (longevity), he's a great citizen and a gamer, he's stuck with one team (so far), and he's not reliant on velocity that would diminish over time. He's Jamie Moyer, but better.

 

So, as I said, if he keeps being MB until he's 41, maybe gets a Cy Young in there somewhere, he's got a good shot.

Talk to me if Mark makes it to the 275 win range.

Mark being Mark until age 39-ish does that, thus my previous post.
