[zurch1818]

Podsednik signed a minor league contract with an invite to spring training.

 

700K if he makes the team, otherwise 13K each month in minors

Well, you know they're going to win the whole thing, now.

Well, I would like to congratulate DM for trading for Lee. The Crew has definitely won out in that trade over the long haul. Even w/losing Coco this year, we without a doubt got more out of that trade than the Sox. Keep it up DM !!!!!

Wow, he has fallen pretty quickly. Is it due to his legs starting to go, or something else? Oh well, he still has that hot wife of his to fall back on.

I'll take Scotty Po's minor league salary. I could handle 13k a month!

 

Ohh and his wife.

Took the words out of my mouth. I would not be surprised if he made the team. After all Finley made it last year as a non roster invite for the Rockies.

I would be surprised, personally. Between Hawpe, Holliday, Spilborghs, & Taveras, that's 4 guys who likely are better than Scotty as of now. Plus they have Jeff Baker who can play some corner OF, and I'm sure at least one prospect that could give Scott a run for his money.

 

I'll grant that Taveras's game is much different from Po's, but with them being basically based on speed, I'll take the younger Taveras (plus, he's a solid defender iirc).

Speaking of lopsided trades, the Rockies also signed Victor Zambrano to a minor league deal. THAT GUY fetched Kazmir. Maybe if NY would've forgone Zambrano's services, they wouldn't have needed to trade for Santana and give him huge bucks. O.K., so Kazmir ain't Johan, but still.

Doesn't Scott provide veteran leadership? And he knows how to win since he has a ring.

Isn't it a bit funny that the guy has NO thump and he's played for teams that play in complete bandboxes. I think he's taken Greg Maddux's advice about chicks digging the long ball a bit too seriously. You cannot magnify something that isn't there.

naw, i don't think you can totally bash Podsednik anymore. with the Brewers he started strong and then just fell off, so the bashing was maybe more justified. but at this point the Rockies know exactly what they're getting and you're taking him for what he is.

I actually really liked Podsednik when he was here in Milwaukee. During his time here he was my favorite player on those teams. I hope he makes the Rockies roster.
