Is there really any surprise as to which White Sox player is the most important right now? It has to be their lefty ace Mark Buehrle. He is a four-time All-Star. He started an All-Star Game, started a World Series Game, and saved a World Series game all in one season. He has one World Series ring and two Golden Gloves. He is an expert pick off artist. He has two no-hitters (against Texas Ranger and Tampa Bay Rays), with the latter a perfect game (featuring DeWayne Wise's unbelievable catch). He has been under fire recently for comments on Michael Vick and how he could be an animal right's activist and a hunter. There is a good reason for that, but he is typically seen as a family man and team player. He is important because he is really the anchor of the White Sox rotation. He is contemplating retirement at the ripe age of 31 just so he could be with his family more. There are currently two White Sox players who will undoubtedly have their numbers retired. One will be Paul Konerko, and the other will be Buehrle. Good luck Buehrle. Hopefully you will have another standout season. Go White Sox!
