The "Perfect" Destination for Buehrle

The best destination for free agent LHP Mark Buehrle is NOT the Yankees.
It is not the Red Sox.
It is not the Marlins.
It is the Chicago White Sox.

Buehrle began his career in 2000, but did not pitch full-time until 2001.
In 2007, his sixth full season, he pitched a no-hitter for the White Sox, allowing only a walk to Sammy Sosa in the 5th inning (only to later pick him off).

But his real gem was in 2009.

Throwing a perfect game in July of that year, he would go down in White Sox history.

So why should he leave now?

I know the 2011 White Sox were a disaster, and some players were underachievers (AHEM, Adam Dunn), but why should Buehrle (13-9, 3.59 ERA)leave because of a terrible season for the team. You might as well loose Adam Dunn AND Alexi Ramirez before letting Buehrle walk. I tell you, if he leaves, it will be a move White Sox fans won't soon forget.

And one Kenny Williams won't either.
