Mark Buehrle Wins Gold Glove

Today the American League Gold Glove winners were announced. Mark Buehrle of the White Sox won his first one of his career. Mark Buehrle is a good defensive pitcher, but never won one before. That is because since 1996 Mike Mussina or Kenny Rogers have won it every year except 2007 where Johan Santana won it. Mike Mussina won the gold glove 7 times in that span and Kenny Rogers won it 4. Now maybe it is Mark Buehrle time to start winning them....................

Mark Buehrle is a good solid pitcher. He doesn't have overpowering stuff so he doesn't get the recognition he deserves a lot of time. He is achieving many milestones though. He has won a World Series, Pick up a save in that 2005 World Series, throw a no-hitter and a perfect game, nine consecutive years with at least 30 starts, double-digit victories and 200 innings pitched every year, a career record 38 games above .500, hit a homerun, and now a gold glove, and he is only 30 years old!
