Found this on espn mlb rumors. Just because he hasn't been a superstar player doesn't mean he cant say he'd like to stay with the team he's with. I'll take him back for next year but wouldn't mind seeing someone waiting in the wings. Scott Podsednik has enjoyed a career revival with the White Sox this season, hitting 50 points better than he did with the Rockies in 2008. A free agent after the season, Podsednik told MLB.com he not mind re-signing with the White Sox for 2010. "You can't help but think about your family and career and the business side of it," said Podsednik, who hit a game winning homer on Tuesday. Podzilla can only hope the Sox keep him NO BIG DEAL FOR PODS | "He's 33 and boasts a career .273/.339/.377 slash line -- it would be OK with solid defensive play, but Podsednik rates as an average corner outfielder and below average center fielder. So Podsednik is lucky to have a full-time starting gig, and he hasn't produced nearly enough to be making statements about where he 'wouldn't mind' signing. At the end of the season, the offers may roll in for a fourth outfielder role but he should not be expecting a lucrative offer and guaranteed starting duty." - Eric Seidman FOURTH OUTFIELDER? | Podzilla can say what he pleases about where he'd like to be, but his production (.265 EqA) is still below the position average (.269), and he's not a great defender in center. If carrying him as a reserve is something the Sox can make space for, sure, but he's at best an insurance policy should next year's solution in center fails as badly as this year's initial DeWayne Wise/Brian Anderson platoon. - Christina Kahrl

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 09:41 PM) Scott Gregor=not so smart as other beat writers Really, buying into the Dye "rocket arm" crap? Yes, when he played for the Braves, or Macon in 1994. I saw him then, because I was working with the Augusta GreenJackets. Only Jose Guillen, Vlad Guerrero and Ruben Rivera (before his injury problems) had better throwing arms. But he hasn't been a great thrower or above average RF or 8-10 years, before the broken leg. And he catches every ball flat footed and never gets a good running start into it...heck, Pods has better throwing fundamentals, or Juan Pierre. thats why they are probably going to have him DH. and he still has as good as an arm as any other white sox outfielder. If not better

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) In the future, before posting a new thread with a very deceving title, could you do a little homework first? First off, go to the source if you are going to post something. This was from Scott Gregor yesterday. http://blogs.dailyherald.com/node/2371 Second, once you actually read the source, you can see Gregor is just giving his own view of things, and is citing no one in the organization. I'm not trying to come off like a prick, but try to get the whole story before posting. yes sir. Just trying to get something going on an off day.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 09:30 PM) Who preferably hits LH...so that means the likes of Dunn and/or Abreu, Blalock could also be brought in for 3B with Beckham shifting, giving us a very very potent offensive line-up. Will probably see either Kotsay OR Wise around next year, too. i hope to god it's not wise

"Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald says in his blog that the White Sox could sign veteran outfielder Jermaine Dye to a two-year extension and likely will cut ties with Jim Thome at the end of the season. Gregor notes that Dye remains a productive player and enjoys playing in Chicago." To tell you the truth wouldn't mind this at all. As long as dye DH and they get a new RF

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) maybe. bcuz i was dissapointed when i went to the rays sox game and richard was guna pitch and he ended up pitching great...yea, it is poster night. when i go tomarrow, theyll be giving away buehrle no hitter baseball cards, ur lucky u get the poster. i dont remember but i remember it being atleast the first 20,000 i was thinking it would be the first 20,000. Damn i want one hope i get it.

maybe jose will surprise some people tomorrow night and be like he was in 2005 in the ALCS. I'm going wednesday got some 4 free tix from my boss. Isn't that Mark Buehrle poster night. Anyone know how many people are getting them?

shoulda woulda coulda.

he's been pitching like he doesnt have any stones. SO this doesnt make sense

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:30 PM) I don't have any stats to suggest this is real, however, my opinion about this team after watching this game: 1) We're a terrible defense team 2) We're very slow 3) We're an above average offensive club, could be very good if TCQ gets back into shape 4) We have slightly above average pitching including the bullpen despite their woes of late I am not sure what this means for us, but certainly with points 1&2, we basically have no shot even if we were lucky enough to make it to the post season. Thoughts? nice to see you're a sox fan and have faith in the team. How long have you been a fan since 2006 on?

QUOTE (JoeCredeYes @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) Was this post necessary? heck yeah it was...just some laughter

QUOTE (LZPride08 @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 01:33 AM) this is the worst journeyman to play OF for the team since Rob Mackowiak.. but he still put up a .250 BA at worst, DeWayne Wise has a BA of a average NL Pitcher oh man i've long forgotten about Rob

yea pepto bismol...i dont think i've ever seen an OF run into the walls without catching a ball....dismal

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 10:21 PM) MLB Network was also doing grades. They gave us a C+, but think we can win the divison because of our starting staff and bullpen. do they know that we have richard pitching every fifth day or do they know something that we dont.

why not just forfeit every fifth game? Or see if the other team just wants to play three innings.

does hawk get disciplined from the FCC for saying hell yes ?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 10:34 PM) Kimmy Gobble DFA very nice

uh oh a battle between sizemore and paulie

so does this change the trivia question answer to harold baines and paul konerko

way the help the sox be buyers PK

they must not get any money from the parking

oh the sunday lineup

QUOTE (The Beast @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 01:26 PM) I happen to hate Beckham's song and I can't stand Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" either. 2005 is soooo four years ago. thank you!

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 01:12 PM) Why would you hate that song? That's almost like hating a player on the 05 team. because its an annoying song. If you were a sox fan you wouldn't stop believe anyways. Plus it has no ties to chicago...in fact it mentions detroit in the song
