Hurly Buehrle
Mark Buehrle will miss the start of the season with a broken foot. Buehrle, the ace of the staff, was having a great spring, striking out 12 and walking only 2 in 18 2/3 innings.
He'll be replaced by Brandon McCarthy. McCarthy's had an excellent spring as well, with 9 K and 1 BB in 15.1 innings. His ERA is 0.59. The 21 year-old has been phenomenal at every level of the minors so far. In his career, he's walked 60 while striking out 406. It was just a matter of time before Brandon made the rotation; the other four staters may wonder who's going to be out of a job when Buehrle returns.

Now they are saying the injury isn't as serious. He'll probably just miss one spring training start.
