Aggressive Marlins Ink Mark Buehrle

Each of the Marlins free major free agent signings, Heath Bell, Jose Reyes, and Mark Buehrle, improved a different need. Bell will be rock solid in the ninth. Reyes improves the Marlins offensively and defensively. Now the Marlins have a solid number two pitcher in Mark Buehrle. 

The Marlins and Buehrle agreed to a $58 million four-year deal. The veteran lefty won 13 games last season with a 3.59 ERA.

Buehrle has pitched consistently well over his career. Since 2001, he has won no less than 10 games. Despite giving up many hits (led the league in hits allowed in '05, '06, '08, '10), Buehrle still manages to be a great pitcher. With only 2.0 BB/9, Buehrle rarely puts men on base through wildness. 

This was the third of a series of major signings by the Marlins, but it certainly won't be the last. Could C.J. Wilson be next?
