John Dewan on Buehrle's durability:
http://www.billjamesonline.com/mark_buehrle_%E2%80%93_one_of_the_most_durable_pitchers_of_all_time_/
Some amazing context:
On that list, Buehrle became the current Rotation Emperor when Justin Verlander missed a start in late August of this season. Buehrle currently has 228 consecutive starts, which dates back to September of 2007. What’s interesting is that Buehrle did not miss a start then because of an injury. Instead, manager Ozzie Guillen skipped Buehrle to allow rookie John Danks to get a start off the DL...Had Buehrle’s streak not been snapped in 2007, his active streak would be 452 consecutive games. That would have been the longest streak, by far, of any pitcher Bill studied, going back to 1955...
(I'd probably look for another name other than the rather clownish sounding "Rotation Emperor.")
