Ding ding ding ding ding ding.... we have a winner.
My guess is that LeCroy replaces Kevin Millar in Boston as the guy who hits against lefties and plays 1B. Seriously. I think Boston keeps Olerud as their guy who hits against righties (and as a defensive replacement). LeCroy is a guy that Theo Epstein would not be able to pass up on.
In the alternative, I could see him platooning with Hatteberg in Oakland.
LeCroy is a Moneyball player.
When we talk about strengthening the White Sox in the offseason, I think we need to focus on left handed hitters. Not only are the Sox righty-heavy now, the best hitting prospects in the Sox organization - Anderson and Young - are righties. Sweeney is a few years away and needs to show that he can add some power.
Brian Giles is going to be my mantra this offseason.
I could care less if the entire line-up was right handed if they hit right handed pitching well. Just like i could care less if we only had one or even zero lefties in the pen... if we have right handers that can get the lefties out at a good clip.
