It’s official.  After 12 seasons, 2,476 2/3 innings and 161, Mark Buehrle is no longer a White Sox.  With eleven seasons over 200 innings, Buehrle has been a work horse for the team and he’s usually done with above average pitching.  He doesn’t have much of a chance to win a Cy Young (he’s only gotten votes once and he finished in fifth place), he’s a work horse that many teams would love to have.  In all of his seasons, he’s only had an ERA+ of under 100 once and that was his subpar 2006 season (the only season he’s had more losses then wins).

And now he’s a Marlin.  I’m glad he signed with the an NL team and not a team like the Tigers where we’d see him more often because it’ll pain me see him another uniform.  It’s hard to believe he’s only 32 because he seems like he’s been around forever.
