I have always liked Buerhle and he is a good pitcher. But his innings are going to catch up to him and he is not that far away from being very average like he was last year. Pods is a limited offensive player whose entire game is dependant on his legs. He is a guy who cant seem to stay healthy and just does not get on base enough to justify a corner OF position, especially when they are getting next to no offense from centerfield. Fields may be ok but hitting .239 right now. They seem to have some prospect but they are all a few years away from helping. Getting bullpen help is easier said than done because with few exceptions like the Angels or Brewers, everybody needs some.
