MacGuyver

Sometimes this just happens to a lucky guy. I'm not going to pretend like I think Mark Buehrle is a fantastic pitcher all of a sudden, now that he's pitched a perfect game. I'll give a tip of the cap to the accomplishment because its quite a feat, however though he has starts of brilliance, he has also had poor starts. His ERA over July has been a 4.50 and June was a 4.30, rising from the 2's and 3's over the beginning of the season.

The things I do like about him are how quick he works, and how he never shakes off the catcher. Those are two things that are actually pretty important. The defense (and some luck on foul balls and such) were crucial to this success. Though in support of Buehrle, its not like the Rays exactly have a poor offense either, so kudos to him.

So bravo for that game, it was fantastic to see. I'll still take Johan Santana over you 9 out of 7 days a week.

This just helps me make a killing for him when I go to trade him in my fantasy leagues.
