For a while, Mark Buerhle has managed to win games by having a good lineup behind him, good d and by throwing strikes. His stuff is average and I'm concerned about him in the playoffs. It has shown first against the horrible Cubs and last night against a team that right now would beat us in a playoff due to their superior starting pitching. With Buehrle as our #2, we'll be in trouble against the great hitting teams that will be in the AL Playoffs. It won't be like last year when every team we played seemed to collapse.
We need to make a move....another starter and some relief.
