I totally understand why all of you hate Pods. Yep, the games when he pitched and couldn't get the third out when someone homered to win the game, the games when he was batting in the 3,4,or 5 hole with people on and he struck out. Need I go on? You give this guy too much credit for loosing the season. If he has this much to do with the success of the club, I'd say he's worth way more than 2.9 mil. Trade him to a team that hasn't won a series in a looooong time--maybe the magic will go with him.
