In response to "Buehrle can probably pitch til he is 40. So that is probably where it gets close. nm -- nm" by groiny

That's exactly the reasoning. He's not a power pitcher, so breakdown is less likely, he keeps pitch counts relatively low.

and keeps his team in games enough to stay around for decisions.

what with the randomness of the win stat, you gotta be around a long time to get lucky enough to rack up a bunch of wins.

That's why Vazquez is in the discussion. He goes 7 innings no matter what. -- nm - David Jun 4, 12:15 8
- He's also been ridiculously unlucky. - musubi Jun 4, 12:20 2
  - as good as he has been this year. He is 4-4. - groiny Jun 4, 12:22 1
    - Johan Santana won only 16 while being arguably the best pitcher in the league. A lot of it is luck. - musubi Jun 4, 12:29
- wait, Javy????? - groiny Jun 4, 12:16 4
  - Did you look at the list? He's tied for 17th in wins at 32 and has a rubber arm. -- nm - David Jun 4, 12:17 3
    - yes, but he is barely a .500 pitcher in his career, and has not come close to 20 a season. - groiny Jun 4, 12:19 2
      - He's been incredibly unlucky to get those records though. - musubi Jun 4, 12:22 1
        
        I say this as someone who loved watching him pitch. - groiny Jun 4, 12:23
