If Pods hadn't had those 2-3 obvious baserunning gaffes that pissed everybody off, would we have done the right thing and signed him to a reasonable 2-year deal?

Probably not, because everyone has some sort of Pods "hate," which means that he didn't deserve less money than Juan Pierre for his services. And then they say that the Sox don't need Jim Thome or Jermaine Dye back because Ozzie Guillen's small ball philosophy works, because they swear it.

FWIW, I'd rather take Pods over Slappy right now. Isn't he cheaper at the moment too?

Yes. But he wouldn't have been cheaper than Pierre at the time we made the trade...the only reason Pods was signed for the deal he was is that no one else would have him.

Well that and his ridiculous 2 year $15 million initial contract demand.

Fixed for accuracy

 

Kalapse posted something a while back breaking down Pod's ineptitude on the bases. I couldn't believe it. It's unbelievable to think that a major league baseball player can be so bad at something as fundamental as baserunning.
