Scott Podsednik is always a threat to steal a base.

Scott Podsednik is playing every day with the White Sox and he is producing. The leadoff hitter is batting .315 and has stolen nine bases. He isn’t a great power hitter, and he hasn’t scored many runs – but he could be a good speed player if you need a fill in for a guy like Jose Reyes. Podsednik has 46 hits in his past 34 games.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Pedro Martinez recently said he expects to sign with a team soon and reports are he will join the Cubs or the Rays. He could pick up wins with either teams and if the World Baseball Classic was an indication – he could get you some strikeouts.

Oakland’s Dallas Braden isn’t getting any run support, but he has a 2.93 ERA in his last 40.0 innings pitched. He might not get you many wins, but he can help your ERA and WHIP and he does qualify as a reliever in fantasy so if you have a ton of starters he can still make your lineup.
