Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
After already inking one light-hitting veteran during this offseason, it appears the Kansas City Royals have opened their pocketbook wide enough to add another. They have agreed to terms with 33-year-old outfielder Scott Podsednik, according to ESPN.com. Podsednik is a gritty player who certainly won't harm anything in the clubhouse. The problem is that he doesn't really do anything well but steal bases. He's coming off easily his best offensive season since he finished second in Rookie of the Year voting back in 2003, but his OBP was still only .353. He did hit .304 in 2009, but it was the first time he was above .261 since the magical 2005 campaign on Chicago's South Side. More than anything, his offensive surge, if you can call it that, seems more an outlier than a true rebound.
The terms of the deal were not immediately available, so it would be premature to call it a waste of money for the Royals. It's just that there aren't many teams out there that would want to sign both Jason Kendall and Podsednik in the same offseason, and we're talking about a small-market team. It's odd, to say the least.
