Scott's playing time is now in question for the White Sox after they acquired OF Alex Rios from the Toronto Blue Jays. Pods has maintained a batting average around .300 all season long yet Rios is getting paid big-time money so it is highly unlikely that he will sit on the bench most of the time.
The White Sox outfield as it stands:
LF--Carlos Quentin: .239-11-29
CF--Scott Podsednik: .297-4-33 and 17 SBs, Alex Rios: .264-14-62 and 19 SBs
RF--Jermaine Dye: .270-24-67
Alex Rios brings power, speed, and incredible defense to Chicago with Pods only having one of those abilities (speed). But Scott also has an uncanny ability to bat #1 in the lineup and the Sox would miss his capabilites there if he was on the bench.
We will get an idea of Ozzie Guillen's plans after tonight's game against the Mariners. We will have to wait and see if Scott's good play continues to award him a spot in the lineup.
