Podsednik Declines Option, Now A Free Agent; Gibbons Returns
by Eric Stephen on Nov 4, 2010 11:02 AM PDT
in Los Angeles Dodgers Roster
Email
PrintScott Podsednik today declined his $2 million option for 2011, per Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times. On Tuesday, the Dodgers exercised their half of the option, which gave the outfielder 48 hours to decide whether to return or become a free agent. The option was originally a club option with a $100,000 buyout, but became a mutual option once Podsednik reached 525 plate appearances this season. By declining his option after the Dodgers exercised their half, Podsednik will not receive any buyout.
Podsednik made $1.65 million this season.
The Dodgers have seven free agents: Rod Barajas (Type B), Hiroki Kuroda, Vicente Padilla, Jay Gibbons, Reed Johnson, Brad Ausmus, Jeff Weaver, and Podsednik (Type B). The Dodgers' 40-man roster now has 32 players.
UPDATE: The Dodgers have signed Gibbons to a one-year major league contract, per Hernandez. Expect him to fill a bench role in 2011. Hernandez also reported the deal was $400,000 plus incentives, although the major league minimum will likely increase in 2011 so expect that base salary to rise.

Well if you're adding those
then Kuroda is also a Type B because Wins are important.

The way he is a free agent is through a non-tender, though, so it’s moot.
by Eric Stephen on Nov 4, 2010 11:12 AM PDT up reply actions
Really? I was led to believe Kuroda is an unrestricted FA through a special provision in his contract.
I’ll believe that when I see it.
The provision is that the Dodgers won’t offer arbitration, which under the CBA is the only way to make him a free agent.

So we can offer arb?
How much aboot would he get, and can we assume he says no thanks?

Though I suppose they could argue he doesn’t deserve a raise based on health and performance in LA.

Arbitration and Free Agency
How does it work that the arbitration deadline is 3 weeks after the free agency period begins?
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.'
It is always that way
generally, right now is the time when teams will sign either their own free agents or sign the really good players that you knew were going get offered arbitration.
So the players can preemptively
reject arbitration?

in that they can sign with another team before the arb deadline.

As for Kuroda, what’s stopping every hot next big thing prospect from demanding a no arbitration clause in their contract? Shouldn’t Boras be all over this? If it’s something you can negotiate why hasn’t a Strasburg or a Harper tried it out yet? Seems like a pretty significant loophole for getting out of the 6 years of control every team normally gets for singing a guy.

You can make a MLB deal
where a player can void part of his guaranteed money to go to arbitration while under team control. I think Boras has put that in some his deals. But the player is still under team control.
But the rule still applies to international free agents. If we sign some kid out of the domincan he’s still our bitch for 6 years, nothing changed just because he wasn’t subject to the draft
It's a valid point RE: leverage
It only really happens with older international FA, but I wonder if it is a handshake agreement between MLB and the Japanese leagues, or something in writing.
by Eric Stephen on Nov 4, 2010 11:40 AM PDT up reply actions
All players that are on MLB 40-man rosters
are part of the MLBPA and thus abide by their collective bargaining agreement.
But they aren’t members of the MLB PA until they sign a major league deal. Mike’s point is, why wouldn’t someone like Strasburg have early free agency written into his contract?
by Eric Stephen on Nov 4, 2010 11:53 AM PDT up reply actions
As what
a minor league free agent.
The MLBPA screws minor league players because they really have no FA rights and ball clubs have no incentive to give those up.
Being drafted doesn’t put you on an MLB 40-man roster, was my point.

Still… I wonder. Why couldn’t he possibly be Cody Ross next year?

Missing the playoffs two seasons in a row is unprecedented in the history of McCourt ownership.
Besides, I’m being flip here. I’ve done my bitching of Colletti, but if the Dodgers didn’t want Ned’s type of wheeling and dealing, they wouldn’t have retained him.
Fuck it, just let him do what it wants and see what it takes us. If he really thinks a platoon of crappy players can work in LF, let him do it and see how far he can fall on his face. If he really thinks Scotty Pods is the answer, let him see how far that can last.
I find your opening sentence funny.

If you wanted a lesson learned from the 2010 post-season
you wanted the Phillies to win the World Series since they went out and made big trades, they probably would have had a lot a pressure to retain Werth.
Instead you get the little engine that could with a team of low-priced misfits and a pitching staff that went all-world for 6 weeks.

I do like this new post-game column
8. Hard to decide on the best random moment in the locker room after the game. There was Ron Artest shouting from the shower over and over again to nobody in particular, "Is there any soap?" causing Pau Gasol to interrupt his train of thought while conducting an interview and replying in a deadpan voice to the reporters surrounding him, "No soap, Ron. No soap. No more soap." There was a reporter asking Bryant in earnest what his thoughts were about Luther Head holding him to five points in the fourth quarter and Bryant staring the guy in the eye and replying, "Are you kidding? Is this a joke?" Both are strong candidates, but the scene that won it for me happened when Matt Barnes ushered his young nephew around so the kid, how had to be about 6-years old, could collect autographs from the team. When they got to Fisher, Fish got his sneakers out of his locker and said, "Do you want these?" Without missing a beat the kid goes, "No. I can’t fit in them."

If Pods returned to the team in some cheaper way to be a 4th OF
I would have no problem with him being on the team in that capacity. It’s just the possibility of him being paid too much and starting that sucks.
Sort of how I feel about Theriot. Useful enough bench player, nothing against him, but as an overpaid guy, and worse a full time starter? Bleh.

True
but whatever his flaws Cody Ross is a better hitter than Pods, no? Burrell helped, too, but then remembered he was over the hill and sucked in WS. Guillen was meh. Uribe was a miracle. Yeah, you never know, basically. But it’s not like he’d suddenly become a power hitter.

There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Yes so would I but
I am assuming some sort of limited budget where Hermida only costs $500k to be the left hand side of a platoon. Worse case is a waste of $500k and his spot goes back to XPaul.
Scotty Pods might not be the worst player in the world, but if he is our starting LF and Loney is still the 1B, this team won’t hit 100 HR’s.
Barring trades or non-tenders, LF is a spot that needs to be filled by someone with some semblance of power.
Well what would Hawpe cost? He's coming off a poor year too
More than 500K of course but how much vs Pods?
Gibbons + Hawpe + Trayvon as new backup isn’t the worst thing in the world.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Robinson won’t be a backup because it will be a waste of a developmental season. If they go that route, the backup is Paul and you have three lefties in a platoon for left field.
true, 3 lefties wouldn't happen
I was just thinking of Robinson continues to catch the eye of Mattingly and excel he could be around next year at some point at least, and has probably surpassed Paul already…

I endorse this idea. Whatever yearly salary Pods signs for should become our new unit of currency for discussing Dodger moves. If he signs for $3 mil, we can say that we can add a veteran bullpen arm for half a Pod (or a ha’ Pod). Replacing Loney with an actual bat could cost upwards of 3 or 4 Pods.
