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.
