So... Konerko's health is an issue (even though he's been highly reliable), but Pods' isn't?
Pods and Pierre are roughly the same player, except Pods is older and has more injury history. You can't ignore that in the analysis of the decision.
1 year, 4 months, 3 weeks, 6 days older. One could also notice how Podsednik has played 896 career games while Pierre has played 1449. Pierre has much more pertinent 'mileage' on him.
