Hard to believe Podsednik is an All Star
Another former M makes it the All Star team. Ha!
Who would have ever thought Scott Podsednik would be named to an All Star team, and had to beat Derek Jeter at that. There is simply no logical explanation as to how the voters picked Podsednik over Jeter, other than simply most of the US is sick of the Yankees.
I mean Jeter is such an easy call over Podsednik that it is not even close. Podsednik has ZERO power (the M's FO probably covets him now) and is a singles hitter who steals. Jeter has the name recognition, higher average, hits for power, more runs... it is hard to construct an argument at all for Podsednik.
With the White Sox having such a nice season, and the Yankees underperforming like no other $200 million team ever has, I am glad for Scott.
But there is no way he is an All Star caliber player.
