claydude14 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Nobody wants him back RIGHT NOW because of his contract. I'm sure Buerhle would be welcomed back with open arms in 3 years if he's still producing and can be had for reasonable $. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing against him Sox already have 4 LHP for the rotation. Plus $$ is an issue. Unless we can trade Danks for some cheap talent to offset $$ and a spot in the rotation then it's not gonna happen. Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Part of Greg's comments may be because I kept saying I have empathy for anyone in that situation and people kept saying, Yeah, but Mark has money, Mark did this or Mark did that. I'm guessing all those comments could be rewritten to say, anyone with enough money, or anyone with a really cool job, or anyone who can walk away, does not deserve empathy. It isn't specific to Mark, but he was used as an example. Â And we would take him back under that contract, as long as someone was picking up some of it.

They are in a transition period where they will be incorporating young players onto the roster while also trying to remain competitive. The biggest area where they are doing that right now is in the rotation. On top of that, Mark does get really expensive really quickly. Â Everyone here valued, loved, and cherished Mark for what he did, but the time was right for the two to go in opposite directions. He will get his number retired and he might even get a statue too. There aren't many guys in White Sox history that were as loved as Mark Buehrle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The one thing with Mark that would make me believe he would come back as a coach is he really seems to enjoy the game. I think he would make a great color commentator as well. Â But it seems more likely he would quietly retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
