chetkincaid Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 The White Sox signed third baseman Dallas McPherson, tweets Baseball America's Matt Eddy. The 30-year-old hit .267/.339/.541 with 22 home runs in 354 plate appearances for Oakland's Triple-A affiliate this year. He hasn't spent significant time in the bigs since '06.

knightni Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I like it. Low risk, lefty bat and a need position. McPherson's not much of a 3B though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxPride56 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Maybe he will be the backup 1B/3B if he has a good spring? Lefty bat with some pop on the bench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Meant to say "minor league deal", not "AAA deal". Whoops. Jerry Cransik reports via. Twitter. "White Sox have signed 3B Dallas McPherson to minor league deal. He hit 22 HRs in 84 games w/Oakland in Triple A last year" Edited November 17, 2010 by JoeCoolMan24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 QUOTE (Cali @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 01:58 PM) Dallas McPherson...the new Josh Kroeger I don't think that's a fair comparison. McPherson was the #12 prospect in 2005 according Baseball America, while Kroeger never made a top 100 list. Dallas definitely had a significantly higher upside than Josh. Having said that, I doubt McPherson ever does much with the Sox. I do think this is a smart signing however..can't hurt to have some extra depth, especially when we have holes at 1B and DH.

chw42 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 He's one of those AAAA players. The Angels are responsible for both him and Brandon Wood. How unfortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 According to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com, the White Sox have signed Dallas McPherson to a minor league contract. McPherson was once a top prospect in the Angels organization, but recently turned 30 years old and hasn't played in the majors since 2008. He batted .267/.339/.541 with 22 homers and 75 RBI in 318 at-bats with Triple-A Sacramento in the Athletics' organization this past season. rotoworld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
