2009 Chicago White Sox: Starting Rotation

What I plan to do for the starting rotation is to preview each starter individually. Today, we will be previewing southpaw Mark Buehrle.

Mark Buehrle has spent all of his career with the White Sox. And year after year, he is putting up good numbers for the White Sox. In 2008, he finished with an overall record of 15-12, and despite the 12 losses, he still had an ERA at 3.79.  When he goes out on the mound, he is sure to give you at least 6 innings. However, one weakness is that Buehrle gives up a lot of hits, an average of more than one per inning. But hits don’t count in baseball, it’s the runs that matter, and with a 3.79 ERA and that many hits given up, he is still reliable.

This year from Buehrle, fans can expect the usual. He won’t be having the terrific season he had in 2005, or the forgettable season he had in 2006.  Turning 30 by the season’s start, Buehrle should have a season just like last year. He will be a key part of the White Sox this year.

And another piece of information on Buehrle……..he recently left Spring Training to tend to his wife who is expecting a child.

Other news………The White Sox face the Mariners today at Camelback Ranch. I plan to review the positives and negatives of the game later tonight after the conclusion.
