He is not an ace. He has pitched a ton of innings. He is coming off a year where his era was 5.00 and the league hit .305 off of him. He is a solid #2 starter. People in that town are going to be more upset if the Sox continue to stink despite having Mark Buerhle going to the mound every 5 days for the next 4 years. They are the 4th best team in the Central. They have a guy that is old and usually injured, Thome, as the only guy hitting. They are the weakest team up the middle in the league. Their 3rd baseman is sitting out the year after back surgery. Their corner outfielders are on a downward spiral. The bullpen with the exception of Jenks is a disaster. Maybe keeping him is a good move but I'd move him for some players and try to re sign him in the offseason.

he is the ace of this staff, hes under 30 and hes30+ over 500 for his career and is a LEFTY. his record is only 5-4 this year but that isnt indicative of how well hes pitched along with some of the other starters. i agree with you bout our infield, uribe definately has to go. both of our kids whove now stepped into starting rolls arent lookin bad at all, fields has shown some pop at the plate and has flashed leather and andi gonzalez hasnt played bad at all offensively or defensively.yes dye is hurt and was playing nowhere near the level he was last year but whats wrong with pods? been playin just fine since hes returned. absolutely agree with you about the bullpen who could argueLOL? some arms in the pen and a couple players and were right back in it next year with the starting pitching we got

I have always liked Buerhle and he is a good pitcher. But his innings are going to catch up to him and he is not that far away from being very average like he was last year. Pods is a limited offensive player whose entire game is dependant on his legs. He is a guy who cant seem to stay healthy and just does not get on base enough to justify a corner OF position, especially when they are getting next to no offense from centerfield. Fields may be ok but hitting .239 right now. They seem to have some prospect but they are all a few years away from helping. Getting bullpen help is easier said than done because with few exceptions like the Angels or Brewers, everybody needs some.
