Hopefully, Buehrle will keep going the way he did yesterday but I'm reserving judgement for now.

Isn't that almost any pitcher? Lots of the greats didn't have a high velocity fastball but were able to use their accuracy to lead them to hall of fame careers. The guy didn't get a perfect game and a no hitter by accident he is a legit pitcher.
