I'm sorry to be the one to bring this up...Scotty Pods

Fortunately, this doesn't seem to be very viable info...I think Edmonds is here for the long haul at this point.

The Cubs have created a working list of potential available left-handed bats, with Podsednik among several names being explored. Their interest will hinge largely on current center fielder Jim Edmonds' performance. Podsednik was a catalyst on the White Sox team that won the 2005 World Series. The Cubs inquired about Podsednik as a free agent last winter.

that 86 OPS+ and .700 OPS sure catalyzed that 2005 team. You can't buy that kind of catalyzation.

Go Edmonds!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I doubt there's much to it. Podsednik is all kinds of awful this year, even for him.

What about the stolen bases?

He was nearly a liability on the bases with his 72% success rate, especially with the power they had in that lineup.

 

Podsednik's base stealing ability was only an asset in his two seasons with Milwaukee and not since. And he's only had one good season in the majors (2003). Outside of that, he's been really bad.

23 CS is a lot of unnecessary outs being made.
