Podsednik hits bottom

by Jeff Sackmann on Feb 5, 2008 3:17 PM CST in Transactions

I liked Scott Podsednik for a while, but no amount of nostalgia can cover up for his degree of inability. He's not good enough to cover center field in the majors anymore, he never had any power, and now he's fragile, too. Getting older and getting injured isn't helping his speed, either.

So, now, he's little more than a minor league spring training flyer, this year with the Rockies. Maybe he's still useful as a backup outfielder, but I'm glad it's somebody else finding out, not the contending 2008 Brewers.

Not as bad

As the Listach "Sweet 16" poster I had in my room back in the day. I can't believe that my USA Basketball Dream Team poster had to share the same wall with Listach.

I have a Podsednik bobble-head...

I also remember taking a day off work and watching the '03 day game 'tween sheets and wood that went 17. Jenkins made a great catch...Cory Patterson hit the winner (speaking of players that faded fast.)

...too bad about podsednik but at least he became a bust with another team. I was a good thing the crew traded him when they did and got Lee.

Prediction

Podsednik winds up in D.C. He has National written all over him.

Worse yet

he is a kind Scot despot.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

Speaking of hitting bottom...

"Former Milwaukee Brewers All-Star pitcher Lary Sorensen has been sent to prison on his seventh drunken driving arrest."

Watching Yovani pitch probably compares to driving a Lamborghini Gallardo.
