Pods - is an overrated player. Sure he was instrumental in helping the Sox win the WS, but he's barely better than Juan "Pepe Le" Pierre. He came out of nowhere in Milwaukee to keep the seat warm for Dave Krynzel, who is the same type of player. Everybody is saying, who in the heck is David Krynzel? He "was" the future CF at the time that Pods was in Milwaukee, but the fact that he was the same type of player as Pods plus injuries, derailed his career. Also not helping that Corey Hart is now up with the team, and Bill Hall is working out quite well in the OF for the Brew crew. That was a heck of a deal to trade Pods at the time for the Brewers.
I cringe when John Maine takes the mound. Mike Pelfrey should be better than him, but it keeps happening the other way.
