February 1, 200917 yr From MLBTradeRumors.com The White Sox have minor interest in signing Ivan Rodriguez as a backup for A.J. Pierzynski. I'm sure Pudge would prefer a starting gig, but at this point, it's tough to be picky. They picked that from a Perrotto article over at baseball prospectus. It's a blurp obviously but it is interesting.

He is one of Ozzie's best friends ( i know Ozzie has like 100 best friends). That could be a selling point, KW could also make a case for him being a part time DH when Thome needs a day off. Plus with all the lefty-righty matchups, im sure he will have his fair share of pinch hit oppurtunities. If he finds a starting job somewhere, i would then look into Henry Blanco.
February 1, 200917 yr I-Rod is intersting as a back up, but we know his skills are diminishing and some pitchers have a problem with his game calling
