The Ghost of Moonlight Graham: Mark Buehrle: What’s His Trade Market?

The Chicago White Sox enter Wednesday’s action with the third worst record in the American League with an 18-25 record. I picked the White Sox to win the American League Central, so I think they have the talent to turn things around.
However, if they don’t turn things around quickly, they might be in sell mode rather than buy mode come July. One of the players that could be on the trade market if the White Sox continue their losing ways is LHP Mark Buehrle. Buehrle is a proven commodity and pitchers like him are always in demand.
Buehrle could be on the move in July
Let’s take a look at the pros, cons, and the teams that could show interest in the 32-year-old.
Pros: As I mentioned earlier, Buehrle is a proven commodity when it comes to pitching. He’s a lock to pitch 200 innings, strike out four-to-five batters per nine, have a Groundball Percentage between 40 – 45%, and be worth about 3.5 – 4.5 wins a year.
In a game where pitchers who throw 95-plus come and go, Buehrle, who throws in the mid-80?s consistently gets it done. He even has a no-hitter and a perfect game to his credit.
