This is the Mark Buehrle the sox will have for the most of the year. His era should actually be much lower because of that game against the yanks where he just got blooped to death and let up 8 runs. Don't say this stuff won't fly against the yanks or bosox, the rangers are one of the best hitting teams in baseball and they didn't put anything up on him. Brando I know you really believe this sox team doesn't have an ace but Loaiza won 21 games last year and has seemed to regain his velocity from last year and Buehrle has been flat out awesome, I really believe by the end of the year these guys might be 1a and 1b. That being said I still am with you on wanting a top of the rotation starter. If the sox could get a 1, 2, or 3, then they are going to have one of the best rotations in baseball and if they did make the playoffs they'd be set up beautifully.
