Jenks has been a very bright spot for the White Sox this season.  He has pitched in 63 games this season and he is 3-5 with 38 saves, a 2.90 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP.  Jenks has now worked 62 innings this season and he has allowed only 43 hits, walked 13 batters and whiffed 56.  Javier Vazquez has been the best starting pitcher for the White Sox this season.  In 30 starts, he is 13-8 with a 3.83 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP.  In 202 innings, Vazquez has allowed 185 hits, walked 47 batters and whiffed 193.  The White Sox are currently 65-86 which has them in last place in the A.L. Central, 24 games behind the Indians and 1/2 a game behind the Royals.

Mark Buerhle, Javier Vazquez, Jon Garland and Bobby Jenks are the only pitchers that are earning their paychecks so far this season.  Mark Buerhle has been re-signed to a nice 4 year contract and he has deserved it by the way he has pitched for the White Sox both this season and over his career.  Buehrle has been the Pale Hose best pitcher this season as he is 6-4 with a 3.03 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP.  Javier Vazquez should have a much better record than he does because he has pitched really well this season for the White Sox.  He is 6-5 with a 3.65 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP so far this season and it seems likely that the White Sox might trade him in the 2nd half of the season.  Jon Garland also has pitched pretty well this season as he is 6-6 with a 3.92 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP.  Garland also could have a new city to call home soon.  Stopper Bobby Jenks is 2-4 with 23 saves, a 3.28 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP this season.  He has been a little bit erratic but still good overall for the Sox.

Jon Garland has been the anchor of the pitching staff for the White Sox so far this season.  In 8 starts, Garland is 3-2 with a 3.18 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP this season for the Pale Hose.  Garland has thrown 56.2 innings this season and he’s only allowed 43 hits, while walking 16 batters and whiffing 20.  Garland pitches to contact and that keeps his pitch count down, which allows him to eat innings and save the bullpen. 

Mark Buehrle has pitched really well so far this season for the White Sox but that should come as no surprise as he’s in his free-agent walk year.  In 6 starts, Buehrle is 2-1 with a 3.22 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP so far this season.  In 36.1 innings this season, Buehrle has only allowed 28 hits and he has only walked 8 batters.  Look for him to keep pitching well for the White Sox this season as he seems really focused on the task at hand.  After all, he already has tossed a no-hitter this season.

Mark Buehrle tossed a no-hitter against the Texas Rangers last night.  He was the first White Sox pitcher since 1991 (Wilson Alvarez) to throw a no-no.  Buehrle was masterful last night as he only allowed one batter (Sammy Sosa) make it to first base.  He walked Sosa and then picked him off of first base so he faced the minimum amount of batters last night.  Buehrle is in his free-agent season and that game last night was a pretty good thing for him to put on his resume’.
