December 12, 2008 The Rockies are expected to offer Scott Podsednik a non-guaranteed deal to remain with the club, according to the Denver Post. Our View:Podsednik is still a capable thief on the basepaths, but his fantasy stock would remain low as a reserve outfielder in Colorado. |
|
August 22, 2008 Scott Podsednik has returned to the team after completing his rehab assignment, according to ColoradoRockies.com. Our View:Podsednik has minimal value in fantasy leagues, as the job of leadoff speed demon is firmly in the hands of Willy Taveras in Colorado. |
|
August 17, 2008 Scott Podsednik, who is recovering from a fractured hand, will begin a four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday, according to the Rocky Mountain News. Manager Clint Hurdle said Podsednik "potentially could be ready" to be activated from the DL Friday for the start of a series with the Reds. Our View:Podsednik will be a backup outfielder when he returns, but is worth a look in deeper NL-only leagues if you gravely need help in the speed department, as he registered 10 steals this season. |
|
August 15, 2008 Scott Podsednik will take full-scale batting practice on Saturday and likely begin a rehab assignment next week, according to MLB.com. He has been sidelined with a fractured pinky on his left hand. Our View:We'll let you know how Pods' BP and presumptive rehab assignment go. |
|
August 13, 2008 Scott Podsednik was given clearance to begin swinging a bat on Tuesday and hopes to be on a minor league rehab assignment by this weekend, according to the Rocky Mountain News. He has been out since July 28 with a fractured little finger on his left hand. Our View:Barring a setback, he would be on pace to be ready to rejoin the Rockies' active roster next week in Los Angeles. He would serve as a backup in the Rockies' outfield, but would be worth a look in deeper NL-only leagues if you gravely need help in the speed department, as he notched 10 stolen bases this season. |
|
July 29, 2008 The Rockies placed Scott Podsednik on the DL Tuesday due to a broken bone in his hand, according to the Rocky Mountain News. The team recalled Cory Sullivan from Triple-A Colorado Springs to replace Pods on the roster. Our View:Pods held a bit of value in NL-only play with his 10 steals, but Sullivan will be a comparable replacement, at least from the Rockies' standpoint. |
|
June 15, 2008 Scott Podsednik hurt his former team as he went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 5-3 win over the White Sox in inter-league play. Our View:Those were his first RBI since June 3, and his first hit since June 1. |
|
May 20, 2008 Colorado outfielder Scott Podsednik continues to make his case for regular starts, taking advantage of the time as the Rockies' leadoff man tonight to go 2-for-4 at the plate with one walk, one stolen base (his seventh of the season), and one run scored. Our View:To be fair, four of those stolen bases came last month in spot action, but the Rockies are desperate to get the offense going and Podsednik could prove capable of providing that spark. |
|
May 20, 2008 In an attempt to get the offense back on track, Colorado manager Clint Hurdle has pushed outfielder Scott Podsednik into the top spot in the batting order, according to the Denver Post. Our View:Podsednik replaces Willie Taveras who has failed to meet offensive expectations. Podsednik has shown well at the plate and adds speed and the threat of steals to the base paths. |
|
May 4, 2008 Scott Podsednik did an excellent job of filling in for a resting Willy Taveras on Sunday. The veteran went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs, and a pair of steals in a win over the Dodgers. Our View:There's no doubt that Pods can still run, but his starts are too few and far between for all but NL-only leagues. |
|
April 24, 2008 Scott Podsednik made a rare start on Thursday but he went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a SB for the Rockies. Our View:In just 23 AB Podsednik has done a remarkable job of allowing the team to rest Willy Taveras without losing a single thing. Finally healthy, Podsednik should steal at least 20 bases, even with part time work, giving him a lot of value in the right situation. |
|
March 29, 2008 As expected, Scott Podsednik beat out Cory Sullivan to earn the fourth outfielder's job with the Rockies, according to the Rocky Mountain News. He could have opted out of his contract had he not been kept on the big league roster. |
|
March 26, 2008 Scott Podsednik is expected to beat out Cory Sullivan for the fourth outfielder's job, although no official announcement has been made, the Denver Post implies. Pods could have some fantasy value if Willy Taveras battles injuries during the year. |
|
March 18, 2008 Non-roster outfielder Scott Podsednik came off the bench and registered a triple in the seventh inning of the Rockies' 4-2 victory Monday, according to the team website. Podsednik, who is batting .370 this spring, has impressed skipper Clint Hurdle. "It's always good when you see somebody you call off the bench come up with a hit like that," said Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, who said he is starting to manage like it's the regular season. Barring an injury to the current projected outfield in Colorado, Brad Hawpe, Willie Taveras and Matt Holliday, Pods is likely to begin the season at Triple-A. |
|
March 10, 2008 Scott Podsednik doesn't have a starting spot with the Rockies, but according to a report on SI.com, he has looked really, really good this spring. Willy Taveras will be the main speedster in the Rockies lineup, but if he once again struggles with injuries, the team could turn to Podsednik and see little if any drop-off at the top of the order. |
|
March 4, 2008 Scott Podsednik went 2-for-3 with one run, one RBI, and one stolen base in Colorado’s 5-11 loss to Kansas City in Cactus League action on Tuesday. |
|
February 5, 2008 Scott Podsednik and the Rockies finalized a minor-league contract Tuesday. The oft-injured speedster will attempt to win a bench job in Colorado. |
|
January 30, 2008 The Rockies have reached a tentative agreement with Scott Podsednik on a minor-league deal. Pods would battle Cory Sullivan for a backup role behind Willy Taveras, according to the Rocky Mountain News. The speedster dealt with all kinds of leg problems last year for the White Sox, as he played in just 62 games. |
