14 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said:

1. Keuchel isn't anywhere near over a season. He's at 150 innings which puts him on a 3.2 war pace over the 200 innings which is very similar to MANY seasons Buerhle had for the sox. 

2. They are similar pitchers, that's really not arguable. 

1. This is the 149th game for the White Sox since Dallas was signed, so just under, not "anywhere near". He has 150 innings because he's been hurt, doesn't go long because he gives up a shit load of base runners. Blames Rickey Renteria, the outfield positioning, among other things for his failures.

2. They are not similar pitchers. Mark Buehrle at just under 4 fWAR per year is truly elite. Keuchel had 1.8 fWAR against the shitty central divisions last year, 0.6 so far this year past the half way point (may drop further after today).

3. Not to mention Hahn signed Turd Ferguson for $76M, or a few million less than what Buehrle was paid over his 11 elite seasons.

Baseball Reference:

Mark Buehrle: 60 bWAR, comparable pitchers (Two Hall of Famers - Jessie Haines and Catfish Hunter), Orel Hershiser, Bob Welch, Kevin Brown among the others)

Dallas Keuchel: 22 bWAR, comparable pitchers (Teddy Higuera, Clay Buchholz, Chad Billingsley, Pete Vuckovich, Carlos Carrasco).
