Could Mark Buehrle work his way to the Hall of Fame

[Chi_archie]

no, not as a visitor as an inductee to the baseball HOF?

guy seems as strong as ever, healthy as a horse his whole career, super consistent

2 no-hitters (perfect game) are the thing that makes me think that if he could last until 40+ and put up some great accumulated stats as a shoe in hall of consistently good member... maybe the no no's and gold gloves get him close?

its not impossible in this day and age IMO,

what do you think? what if he were to pitch one more No-hitter and join the select group of Nolan, Sandy, and Bob Feller?

[boeing power]

The hall of durability and consistency maybe.

13 straight seasons of 200+ innings and 10+ wins.

[I/O]

Unless he has changed his mind since then, Buehrle has never been into baseball. It's a freakin job for him. A means to an end. I'm pretty sure he's a big time outdoors type hunter dude. He's not very passionate about the game. He was actually gonna hang it up not too long ago and spend his time shooting things. Doubt he sticks it out longer to make his name in history.

[pavyracer]

He should be in if he pitches 5 more years.

[tatddy]

No chance in hell.

[Ratpack]

he probably needs 20 to 30 more wins and ANOTHER no-hitter or perfect game a ring could help also

[Chi_archie]

he could get to 200 this year...

but there are plenty of guys that accumulated more wins over their career with much higher and spectacular peaks than Buehrle....

I think another no-hitter is the key, or for him to hang on until 45

but it has been pointed out that he isn't a big baseball guy, guy lives to hunt and fish.

many thought he would retire at 33ish when his white sox contract expired

[stealthyburrito]

If he conditioned his body, he's a no doubter, but yea like you said baseball's his way of making a living, a good one.

We can only imagine what he could've accomplished.

Or maybe with his laid back style he piqued for his style as a finesse pitcher.

[easyliving]

no chance indeed not a single solid argument on why he should get in.

[jay89]

jays have ruined a lot of arms the past few years. the vets like halladay or burnett came out OK. lets hope buerhle sticks it out. if he pitches 5 more solid years (he'll be 39ish by then), he'll be in the top 50 for career innings pitched. HOF numbers? not close, unless he starts winning some championships

[Grits n' Gravy]

Sure he can. It'll happen right after Brock becomes a successful professional gambler.

[STAX]

He's this generation's Jamie Moyer... which isn't a bad thing.

[Big Bear]

absolutely.

But i couldnt care less about the hall of fame.

I think they should demolish that building if they aint gonna let Clemens and Bonds in.

Will he make it in? Yes. Do I want him in? Nope.

The reason he will make it into the Hall is that he will win himself 250 games. In the next 10 years, especially with a lot of pitchers that were using PED's the coices each year will become slimmer and slimmer and a guy that in my estimation should not be in, will get in.

Guys like him are the Curtis Martin's, the Mike Gartner's and the Dave Andreychuk's of baseball. Unfortunately, in due time they will all get in just because of consistency. All of the Halls are becoming Hall's of Decent imo.

[BennyBigNuts]

The hall of durability and consistency maybe.

13 straight seasons of 200+ innings and 10+ wins.

And still 0% chance he gets in.

Archie is better than this.

Cmon man.

One good month and he's a HOF'er? LOL
He will be a fade machine from here in on.

[Down_Goes Bookie]

No way in hell. Buerhle's career ERA is 3.81 -- no Hall of Famer has an ERA that high. It might decline slightly in the next year or two but still.

Tim Hudson has a better shot, and his numbers probably aren't good enough either.

[BennyBigNuts]

Sure he can. It'll happen right after Brock becomes a successful professional gambler.

[Down_Goes Bookie]

The reason he will make it into the Hall is that he will win himself 250 games.

250 Ws is not a shoo-in. Blyleven and Morris got over 250, neither is in the Hall.

[portillos1]

Big time sox fan and I don't even think so

[upscope]

no way

[Simon Gruber]

if he throws another no-hitter I'd vote him in, because at this point, you've got trash like Sutton and Maz in there so who the f cares, but that is literally the only way I'd vote for him. Not 10 1 hit complete game shutouts, an acutal no hitter against a team that isn't the Astros or Mariners. Then come talk to me.

[lexxa]

250 Ws is not a shoo-in. Blyleven and Morris got over 250, neither is in the Hall.

Blyleven got in a few years ago.

[Regul8er]

Not a chance.......really good pitcher who has lasted the test of time. But HOF?? Cmon Man.....I don't think you could ever consider him a top 10 pitcher at any point in his career.

[Down_Goes Bookie]

Blyleven got in a few years ago.

oh hell that's right... LOL. thanks.

[Dollars2Donuts]

I agree with all of you....he will never deserve to be in the HOF and I still think he may get in. In the next ten years there will be almost no starting pitchers with credentials good enough to get in....and that's the problem.

Better question.....does Halladay get in?

[pavyracer]

Maybe if Bartolo Colon makes it into the HOF they can be inducted together with Mark Buehrle.

[laclippers504]

If he pitches to 45 sure why not

[krk1030]

Accumulated stats are BS anyway.

Was he ever even a top 50 player at any time in his career.

[whtsox13]

Buehrle, no. Pete Rose, yes.

[I/O]

Well Buehrle should be a lock for the All Star game

[Chi_archie]

lets get this tonight Marky!!!!!

[Chi_archie]

[Chi_archie]

10 wins!

[BiTeMe UsAdOj]

Do the right thing here baseball writers

[sweethook]
