  Bullpen Brian — Authority: 123
  Scott Podsednik doesn’t belong on the North Side, and it’s not just a White Sox thing, either. The guy’s injury prone and his defense isn’t what it use to be, which was never above average to begin with. An ageing Alfonso Soriano in left field is already enough poor defense to overcome.

• Doug Glanville Explains Tiger’s Stripes

  
  Bullpen Brian — Authority: 123
  Strangely, I became a fan of former-Cub Doug Glanville while he was playing in Philadelphia and not Chicago.
