MLB.com: Beuhrle to start on opening day

CHICAGO -- Being that Frank Thomas has always suited up for the same team as Mark Buehrle and is usually on the bench when Buehrle is on the mound, the future Hall of Fame slugger didn't have a good sense as to the true level of talent possessed by the White Sox ace.

Approximately one week ago during Spring Training in Tucson, Thomas briefly got up close and personal with Buehrle's repertoire. Thomas exited very impressed.
I remember Beuhrle from a couple of seasons ago really being good. I'm glad to see him starting the season off at #1 in the rotation. He's a great pitcher.
