you are right that lee's arm is not good
But Lee had made himself to the point where he was at least an average LF'er (defensively). Which was more than acceptable considering what he did at the plate. He certainly wasn't as bad as people made him out to be, though.
As for Podsednik, I think his speed makes up for a lot of his bad reads. That being said though, I agree with Jim -- I don't think he's great, but he's not terrible either. Not much of a difference between he and Lee.
And so far this year, I appreciate Podsednik's job in working the count. I appreciate that he's followed through on his plan to swing for the fences less, and draw more walks/slap the ball around more. He'll never be a SLG% poweress, but hopefully he can keep his OBP above .350.
Alright. Let's go, sacks packed, nobody out. LET'S GO SOX!
