After finding a resurgence with the White Sox again, Scott Podsednik is going to test the free agent waters. There is a good article on Chicago White Sox's MLB page. This is what Scott says about the offseason:
"No, we are going to wait it out and see what happens," Podsednik said concerning his foray into free agency. "If they want to try to bring me back, then we will entertain that idea and go from there. But this is all kind of a new process to me. I'm going to seek counsel from my representation and do what we feel is best."
He is coming off one of his best seasons: .304 average, 7 home runs, 48 RBIs, and 30 stolen bases, but the most important aspect is that he did not miss any extended time with an injury, which has been his problem the last several seasons.
Scott has this to say about his history with injuries:
"I've put in hard work to counter things I was having problems with in the past," Podsednik said. "I haven't felt any muscle strains, aches, pulls, anything close to some of the stuff in the past. I feel I have a good working program and can keep my body healthy for a full season."
Most teams probably see Scott as a fourth outfielder at best, so he needs to be patient and find an opportunity that provides the most playing time for him. At 33, he is not through with his playing career and this year showed he can be a vital part of any team as a LF/CF and a leadoff hitter.
