Ozzie wants Podsednik back for 2010?

Scott Podsednik’s solid play is going to create a playing time dilema for Ozzie Guillen. Does “Pods” take away at bats from Brian Anderson in center when Carlos Quentin returns? Mark Gonzales says Ozzie would endorse a return of Podsednik for 2010.
Brian Anderson is inching closer toward securing the full-time center field job. Carlos Quentin is expected to return after the All-Star break and play left field — Podsednik’s current spot. Jermaine Dye can become a free agent after this season, and he’s entrenched in right field.
The situation could be resolved if the Sox slip from playoff contention, although manager Ozzie Guillen said he would endorse an extension for Podsednik if general manager Ken Williams asked him.
“Maybe people will be interested in [Podsednik] if we’re not in the pennant race,” Guillen said. “There are a lot of good things for him right now after being out of baseball earlier in the season.”
