ERA or FIP in the low 3's.

his ERA is 3.85 for his career. that isnt bad being in the AL. His FIP will always be higher, he is not a power pitcher, not a K pitcher, pitches to contact, that is why his perfect game and no hitter were so odd.

I know. I didn't say it was bad. In fact, it is quite good. However, like you said, he isn't a power pitcher and won't put up those dominating K numbers. I'd still love to have him for 14 MM.

The power aspect of him probably has what has kept him from being on the DL and keeping those 200 innings every year. dont get me wrong, it is fun watching power pitchers, but when it comes to long term high priced deals, it is a bit scary.

For what Buehrle is, I like him. Sturdy, reliable, has had some rough stretches (but whom hasn't). Is he truly the ace? No. Danks gives us the best chance to win everyday, but I'd take Buehrle a lot more than I wouldn't.

Floyd is a pretty solid pitcher. But Danks has better stuff, if the more kid could ever get run support he'd be a perennial 18 game winner*

* I realize that win totals DONT measure a pitchers value.

6 runs isn't enough for you?
