On Thursday our Royals blog, Royals Review, predicted that the team would sign outfielder Scott Podsednik. On Friday, general manager Dayton Moore has proven them right by signing Podsednik to a one-year deal.
Scott Podsednik Signs One-Year Deal With Royals
Though Podsednik’s on-base percentage could certainly be a little higher, his .304 batting average in 2009 was a major improvement over previous seasons, and he’s still a base-stealing threat.
Royals Review, however, is not particularly impressed.
You can probably guess my reaction, although if we escape with only a one year commitment here, I'm happy. At this point, I'm more bummed for Mitch Maier than anything else. Consider it the scrub cycle: I root for these guys at the beginning, when they really need a break to have careers and truly cash in, and when they're at a point age wise when they might surprise a little. Podzilla was that guy six or seven years ago. Not now.
