Mark Buehrle (SP Chicago White Sox)
Edwin Jackson (SP Arizona Diamondbacks)

Yeah. Jackson is underrated and Garza is slightly overrated. Buehrle is a nice complement to Jackson.
depends, same as other guy said exept id say in a league of 12 or more sure, but any less no because hes too good of a pitcher
No way, Garza is a very solid pitcher who has the potential to be a top 20 pitcher kind of guy. I do admit Jackson is underrated (somewhat at least), but he honestly was only good for half a season last year (he crashed after the All-Star break) and with him being on a new poorer team, I think stats not on par with last season are inevitable. As far as Buehrle goes, assuming this isn’t a super deep league, his only use at this point in his career is being an innings gobbler, so it’s not worth it. Ask for someone better than Buehrle if you can.
In a deep league (14+), yes, because you’ll be adding depth to your pitching roster. In a shallow league (<14), no, because you’re giving up a really good pitcher for two slightly above average ones.
