2010 Outfield

The Chicago White Sox hope to put Scott Podsednik back at the top of their batting order for next season. Podsednik's agent and Sox GM Kenny Williams have agreed to start talks and seem optimistic that a deal can be done. Podsednik hit .304 and stole 30 bases this season for the White Sox. Any Sox fan knows that he already has a part in team history as a pivotal member in the 2005 World Champion team. The White Sox will need him to repeat his success in 2010 if they are going to contend.

Fellow Sox outfielder in 2009, Dewayne Wise appears to be leaving as he opted for free agency instead of accepting an assignment to Triple-A. Wise will best be remembered as the defensive replacement who saved Mark Buerhle's perfect game by robbing a home run in the top of the ninth. The 31-year-old Wise batted just .225 this year with the Sox.

Finally outfielder Carlos Quentin is still recovering from having a pin surgically removed from his wrist. He also recently had a foot doctor look at his foot, which made him miss 2 months of the season due to plantar fasciitis. The foot doctor found no abnormalities and Quentin can start off-season activities as soon as his wrist heals in about 30 days.

  1. Do you think Posednik is too old to continue competing and providing a similar spark at the top of the lineup as he has done in the last few years?
