Aw, man! I really want Buehrle back in Chicago for the rest of his career. He’s been there forever! I honestly can’t picture him in another uniform.
Jon Stark
I really like Buerhle, and in some ways, he fits what the Jays need. However, I think his numbers pitching in the AL east would not look nearly as good.

Kenny Williams is horrible. If he didn’t sign and trade for all those horrible contracts, he would be able to afford Mark Buehrle right now. But hey on the bright side, the White Sox still have Alex Rios and Adam Dunn. #Sarcasm
casorgreener
Yeah because you totally predicted Dunn would flop….
miamiroc
You say that like Dunn bats for average or something, the guy is a career .243 hitter. Its not a matter of predicting Dunn would flop but why you would invest $12 million+ per year on a guy who strikes out a ton, has no glove and depends solely on power alone. Meanwhile, just about any other position on the field could have been upgraded.
Steve Espinosa
you sign a guy who hits for power and not average with no glove to play DH. it’s called logic.
nobody in the world could of predicted the most consistent power hitter in the game would of done that.
lolpods
you say “average” like it matters or something.
Hippp Hipp
If Rios came anywhere close to his potential, you’d be singing a different tune right now. Williams did wonders for “your” team.
miamiroc
You could say that about any prospect in the minors. Thats the reason teams have prospects because it would be nice if they reached their potential. Unfortunately, Rios doesn’t get paid like a prospect. Now does he?

Hey, we still have Frasor too!
Steve Espinosa
and the white sox got carlos quentin for a bag of balls, got john danks and gavin floyd for nothing, scouted and got alexie, drafted chris sale, built up sergio santos, and got matt thorton of nothing.
he has more good trades/signings than bad ones.
Kevin Chambers
He traded for Peavy, Both Swisher Trades, Claimed Rios, Mark Teahan trade, the Edwin Jackson trade the Griffey trade, the tony pena trade, signing of bartolo carlon, adam dunn signing, aj signing, pulling Beckham up to soon, looks like your wrong.
lolpods
they didn’t really lose anything that important for peavy. the first swisher trade wasn’t that bad. they should have kept him.
there was nothing wrong with the teahen trade, it was the extension that was insane. as for pena, what’s brandon allen doing these days. and colon, what, the first time, when he went on to win the cy young after they let him go? they should have kept him, obviously. the second time, they paid him nothing.
dunn was the right move, no one knew this season would’ve happened. aj was one of their best offensive players last year, he’s overpaid, but not horribly.
beckham would’ve been brought up by now anyway. his first year he was destroying AAA pitching as it was. he’s either going to hit in the majors or he isn’t.

Regardless of what you say about Griffey, he still made the throw in game 163 in 2008 that AJ held on to to tag out Cuddyer at home. We won the division. Granted we got dominated by the Rays in the postseason, but they went to the WS. I’m fine with the Griffey trade.
JimBaily
The gap between Kenny Williams and the next worst GM in baseball is bigger than the gap between Jerry Sandusky and his next job.

Arizona seems like a better fit than Chicago at this point. They’ve got power in Upton, plus a steady rotation featuring Hudson, & Kennedy. Plus its in a weaker division.
disgustedcubfan
Kenny trades for insanely bloated contracts(Rios and Peavy), passes one out to Dunn, then wishes for his best pitcher over the past 10 years to come back for a sweetheart, low-ball, home town discount type of deal. It’s not gonna happen, and the Sox will miss those 220 innings and his steady, calming influence more than they think.

If Buerhle leaves and Danks gets traded, that leaves only an unproven Chris Sale as the lone LHP in the Sox rotation. I have a feeling Buerhle will sign somewhere else. So, Kenny hang on to Danks at least until mid-season. Then if the Sox are out of it, try trading him to a contender.
