White Sox - Signed Buehrle

Chicago White Sox - Signed P Mark Buehrle to a 4-year, $56 million extension.

What's there not to like about this? Buehrle's not a true 3.03 ERA pitcher, but the Pale Hose don't need him to be and they're not paying him like they expect him to pay. Given the market, $14 million a year for a healthy pitcher who's a good bet to put up an ERA+ of 120 every year is an excellent deal. No snark needed in a world in which Barry Zito, an inferior pitcher, gets twice the dough for twice the time.

I am heartened to see somebody, somewhere, not just piling on with the usual prognostications about the Low Strikeout Rate of Destiny.

You'd like to see more strikeouts, of course, but Buehrle's fine otherwise, not getting super-lucky out there most years, and he's bounced back from last year's K rate.
