For over a decade, Mark Buehrle was either considered an ace or a player close to the top of the rotation. Five times, Buehrle was named an All-Star and is a member of the 200 Win club, a mark that is becoming increasingly elusive. A finesse pitcher with a wide arsenal to use, Buehrle’s best season was in 2005, when he finished 5th in Cy Young voting and helped the Chicago White Sox win the World Series.
Buehrle was also known for his defensive skills, as he was a four-time All-Star and had a career bWAR of nearly 60.

While Kevin Gregg was certainly a journeyman pitcher, he did record 20 Saves in a season six times; though the fact that he did that for four different teams (one of which in two different runs) shows off that no MLB General Manager viewed him as an elite talent. Still, he recorded a more than respectable 177 Saves over his career.

Jeremy Affeldt is one of the few players who can boast three World Series Rings, all of which were won with the San Francisco Giants. Affeldt was used predominantly in the bullpen over his career, often in the set-up role and was very good at it. The southpaw would have a 0.86 ERA over 33 playoff games.
