MLB History: The best player from each franchise not in the Hall of Fame

Best MLB players not in the Hall of Fame: Chicago White Sox, Mark Buehrle

WAR value: 48.9

Mark Buehrle did it all during his 12 years with the Chicago White Sox. He made four All-Star Games, threw a no-hitter, added a perfect game, and won a World Series title. The southpaw was also always available and as durable as they come.

In total, Buehrle finished his career with 214 wins and an average of 221 innings pitched per season. Of course, his innings total won’t break any records due to how the game was played decades ago. But this is a major accomplishment in this era and Buehrle remains on the Hall of Fame ballot next year, which proves there are those out there who find him deserving.

Buehrle was never a pitcher with a flashy ERA or league-leading strikeout total. He was just always consistent and rarely had a bad start. He also retired with four Gold Glove Awards, proving his true value on defense in addition to his pitching.

The lefty has a career WAR of 60.0 in 16 seasons and he will now be hoping voters continue to see his name on the ballot and appreciate him more with time. For now, he remains a White Sox franchise legend and one of the better pitchers to never win a Cy Young Award.
