Brett Oberholtzer

Just as every team needs an Eric Bruntlett or Matt Stairs, every team needs a Brett Myers/Joe Blanton. A pitcher who can be an innings eater either as a starter or long-man in the bullpen.

Acquired in the Vince Velasquez trade, Oberholtzer has been incredibly valuable for Philadelphia. He averages more than two innings per outing, as well as more than a strikeout per appearance. As a long-man out of the Phillies bullpen, he has kept the team in games for much of the early season.

His value as a starter could also be key for a team looking to make a late season run. Boston will also be looking for back of the rotation help, as well as bullpen arms.
