Rest-of-Season Projections
Buehrle isn't ready to announce his retirement but also hasn't been throwing, MLB Network's Jon Heyman reports.
ANALYSIS
Buehrle was expected to retire after the 2015 season, but he never made the move official. Now a free agent, he may be eyeing one final season, which wouldn't necessarily begin in April. It still seems more likely that the 36-year-old lefty will decide to retire.

There has never been any secret about what fantasy owners are go to get from Buehrle. He will almost certainly give 200-plus innings and a better than league average ERA, but that doesn't mean you necessarily want them. They are often accompanied by an elevated WHIP and paltry strikeout rate. In leagues that use innings or starts cap, his strikeout liability is much more severe. Earlier in his career, he averaged 16 wins per season, but that is down to just 13 over the last nine seasons. Buehrle's season started strong as he entered the All-Star break with a 2.64 ERA before posting a 4.64 ERA the rest of the way. A guy like Buehrle is impossible to sell high via trade, but you need to have the resolve to simply ditch him at the first sign of trouble after you get 19 starts of a mid-2.00s ERA. It is better to gamble on a young arm than roster the Buehrles of the world in mixed-league formats.
