Heads22 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I also like him. He throws with his left hand, and he has been at least decent at this skill for a number of years. While his compensation may not actually match his production as some White Sox fans would like, I would assume most want to see him in a Sox uniform for years to come. Thoughts?

Quin Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Does anyone know if he likes to drink? Buehrle that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) His ability to eliminate the opponents' running game somewhat negates his mediocre peripherals. And he's certainly not a $14 million dollar a year pitcher. But it would be a sad, sad day were Mark to go elsewhere.

Perfect game, no-hitter, World Series save, kick save play on opening day, hell, even a dinger. Nah, Buehrle's been boring. Let him walk.

But if you take the emotion out of it, which I concede is very hard to do in this case, he's not going to be worth $14 million a year from this point on. And I'm almost certain the Sox feel the same. I want Mark to finish his career in Chicago. But at a reasonable cost. Not to overpay for nostalgia purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Buehrle is a sort of Pujols situation for us. We know if we extend him, we will probably be paying him for more than he is worth at the end of his contract. Do the Sox owe him that? Do the Sox have to do it to appease their fanbase?

I just appreciate the career Buehrle has had with Sox. No doubt about it. Mark is one of my heroes. I can't, and quite frankly refuse, to picture him in another uniform. But I've learned, and I'm not at all saying that your incapable of doing this, to separate emotion from what's best for the team. It kills me to this day how Frank left. But his time with this organization had come. I guess what I'm saying is that Danks, not Mark, should be the main priority next offseason. No problem, yas. I didn't take it that way. I just wanted to make my point clear. I love Mark and want him here forever if possible. Edited February 19, 2011 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 If you look at his skill set, he's not worth $14 million a year. But if you take into account everything he means to the White Sox, I have no problem with him getting that type of money now. If he extends for a couple/few years, I could see $8 to $10 million per...and I'd be fine with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yeah, he's one of the three faces of the franchise that we have. Overpaying him a little is understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know what we're getting from him every year, he's a guy that his secondary stats mean absolutely nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Buehrle at this point is probably my favorite athlete of all time but the Sox owe him nothing and if he wants too much money than you have to let him walk.

Where as sombody like Javy Vazquez consistently pitches below his talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
