Newsbreakers
December 28, 2009
The Cubs remain interested in Scott Podsednik, according to ESPN Chicago.
Our View:
The Cubs need to fill a hole in their outfield, and still have Marlon Byrd high on their list too. Ryan Spilborghs is the latest player on their radar. "Scotty Pods" is already a fan favorite in Chicago, as he led the rival White Sox to a World Series title back in 2005.
December 15, 2009
Scott Podsednik is believed to be on the Cubs' radar, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Podsednik batted .304 with the cross-town rival White Sox last season, and could be an option for the Cubs if they are unable to sign other outfield targets, such as Marlon Byrd and Rick Ankiel. He won't offer much power, but the 33-year-old vet can still steal bases.
December 9, 2009
The Giants are believed to be interested in Scott Podsednik, according to Andrew Baggarly's (Mercury News) twitter page.
Our View:
The 33-year-old vet batted .304 with the White Sox last season, and is still a threat to steal bases, but would not offer the Giants much power if added to their outfield.
December 5, 2009
Scott Podsednik is believed to be on the Royals' radar, according to the Hot Stove Blog on MLB.com.
Our View:
Kansas City is in the market for a center fielder and "Scotty Pods" hit .304 and stole 30 bases in his return to the White Sox in 2009. He made $800,000 last season, but is reportedly looking for a more lucrative multi-year deal.
October 9, 2009
According to the Chicago Tribune, the White Sox are in preliminary discussions with outfielder Scott Podsednik to try and bring him back next season.
Our View:
Podsednik emerged as an offensive catalyst out of the mist for the White Sox in 2009 and the team looks to want to reward him with a new deal that will keep him on the South side. The speedster hit .304 with seven homers, 48 RBI and 30 steals this season and represents an affordable option out of the leadoff spot. He would be noticeably cheaper that free agent to be, Chone Figgins.
September 18, 2009
Scott Podsednik went 1-for-3 with a single in tonight's 11-0 loss to the Royals at U.S. Cellular Field.
Our View:
The Sox only mustered three hits in the game. Podsednik is batting .353 over 68 at-bats this month.
September 9, 2009
Scott Podsednik went 4-for-7 with a stolen base on Wednesday, helping the White Sox outlast the A's 4-3 in 13 innings at home.
Our View:
Podsednik's South Side career renaissance continues. The outfielder is now batting .307 with 27 stolen bases in his return to the White Sox after a one-year sabbatical in Colorado.
September 6, 2009
Scott Podsednik collected three hits on Sunday, but the White Sox could collect just one run, as Boston won 6-1 in Chicago.
Our View:
Podsednik is now batting an even .300 with five home runs, 43 RBI and 26 steals during his renaissance 2009 season.
July 20, 2009
Scott Podsednik went 3-for-3 on Monday with two runs, two doubles, a walk and a stolen base, his 15th of the season.
Our View:
Podsednik continues to excel atop the White Sox lineup and looks like he could continue to provide one of the best combinations of batting average, stolen bases and runs going forward this season.
June 27, 2009
Scott Podsednik came up huge for the White Sox in their Windy City battle against the Cubs on Saturday, going 4-for-5 with two runs, three RBI and his third home run of the season, though he was caught stealing for his fifth time of the year.
Our View:
He actually beat the throw on his stolen base attempt but came off the bag for an instant while sliding through it, though you won't hear anyone complaining. The game marked his third-straight multi-hit performance, not to mention nine in his past 14 games. With his top-notch speed, he's a must-add in all formats right now, if he's still available.
June 25, 2009
Scott Podsednik led the Sox in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers at U.S. Cellular Field, as he went 2-for-6 with a RBI and a run scored. He notched a pair of singles, with the second coming in the bottom of the 13th inning to win the battle.
Our View:
'Scotty Pods' (as he is known in Chicago) is hitting .302 so far this month, with two homers and nine RBI. He is worth consideration for AL-only leagues if you need help in your roto-outfield.
June 17, 2009
Scott Podsednik was 2-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, and a stolen base as the White Sox defeated the Cubs 4-1 on Wednesday.
Our View:
Carlos Quentin remains sidelined and may not be back until after the all-star break, so Pods will continue to start. In 133 leadoff at bats this season he is hitting .316 with nine stolen bases. He is a suitable temporary solution for owners replacing an injured outfielder.
June 11, 2009
Scott Podsednik went 2-for-5 with a game-winning RBI in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Tigers at U.S. Cellular Field. Both of his knocks were singles.
Our View:
His game-winning hit came in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded off reliever Joel Zumaya. Podsednik is hitting .283 (13-for-46) so far in June, with one homer and five stolen bases. He is worth employing in AL-only leagues.
May 25, 2009
Scott Podsednik was 4-for-5 with a walk, a double, two RBI, and two runs scored in the White Sox 17-3 win over the Angels on Monday. He started in center field but moved to left field after Carlos Quentin re-aggravated his plantar fasciitis injury.
Our View:
Podsednik has seen regular at bats throughout Quentin's battle with his ailing foot. Still, he has provided mediocre fantasy punch and he has been caught stealing in three of his six chances this season.
May 20, 2009
Scott Podsednik will start in left field tonight against the Twins at U.S. Cellular Field, according to the Chicago Tribune. He replaces the ailing Carlos Quentin.
Our View:
Podsednik has a hit in three straight games, and holds a .335 average over 167 career at-bats against Minnesota. He is worth consideration if you have Podsednik on fantasy rosters.
May 19, 2009
Scott Podsednik will roam left field tonight with Carlos Quentin (foot) out, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Our View:
Brian Anderson will start in center field. Podsednik holds a .337 career average over 163 at-bats against Minnesota, and is worth employing in fantasy lineups tonight, especially since opposing pitcher Scott Baker is 1-4 with a poor 6.95 ERA.
April 30, 2009
Scott Podsednik has been recalled from the minors by the White Sox, according to FOX Sports. The adjoining move was not announced, but it may be Jerry Owens after he was seen packing his bags after Wednesday's game against Seattle.
Our View:
Podsednik could start in center field if Brian Anderson (strained oblique) is unable to go Friday night at Texas. Podsednik helped the Sox claim the World Series title back in 2005, and led the majors with 70 stolen bases in 2004. He is worth a look in AL-only leagues.
April 30, 2009
As expected, Scott Podsednik will be recalled from the minors by the White Sox on Friday, according to ESPN.
Our View:
Podsednik is in great shape and was a key contributor during Chicago's magical run to the World Series in 2005. He will roam center field with Brian Anderson ailing.
April 29, 2009
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Scott Podsednik may get called up following Bryan Anderson's strained oblique that he suffered on Wednesday.
Our View:
Podsednik was not very effective last season but he'll always garner some fantasy attention due to his ability to steal bases. If he does indeed get a regular job, he's probably worth keeping an eye on, but he does not come highly recommended.
April 14, 2009
The Chicago Tribune reports that the White Sox have agreed to terms with Scott Podsednik on a minor league deal.
Our View:
Podsednik, who was a major part of the 2005 World Series Sox team, is back in the organization after being cut by the Rockies. He was signed after the injury that landed CF DeWayne Wise on the DL.
April 1, 2009
Scott Podsednik was reassigned to minor league camp on Tuesday, according to Yahoo! Sports.
Our View:
Dexter Fowler will have a spot on the opening day roster as a result, which figures to dampen the value of Ryan Spilborghs. Podsednik hit just .217 in 46 spring at-bats.
January 14, 2009
The Rockies have re-signed outfielder Scott Podsednik to a minor league deal, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
He was retained to provide depth in the outfield, and speed on the basebaths following the departure of Willy Taveras to Cincinnati. Podsednik stole 12 bases last season, and only Clint Barmes (13) stole more among their returning players.
