Marlins Sign Star Pitcher

Copyright © 2009 — 2011 Last-Video.com

     The Florida Marlins signed star pitcher Mark Buerhle today. Mark Buerhle is a four time All-Star, and has won three straight Gold Gloves in a row. "This kid is special," Guillen said. "He pitched in the big scenarios, big moments, very tough city to pitch. When people love you in Chicago, that means something."

     The 32-year-old Buehrle has been one of the majors' most durable and effective pitchers for more than a decade. He has reached double figures in victories and thrown over 200 innings in each of the last 11 seasons, all with the White Sox.

     Buehrle was 13-9 with a 3.59 ERA this year and won his third straight Gold Glove.

     The deal Buehrle made with the Marlins was a four year deal worth 58 million dollars. While the Marlins were landing Buehrle, there were also significant developments in the Albert Pujols sweepstakes. The Marlins are now out of the running for Pujols, reports ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick, leaving St. Louis as the prime candidate to sign the three-time MVP.

             A workhorse for the White Sox, he helped them win the 2005 World Series when he even made a relief appearance. Chicago offered him salary arbitration last month, but he decided to find a new home after a visit to Miami, where the Marlins will move into a new ballpark next season.
