November 17, 201015 yr 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.
November 17, 201015 yr Can't wait to see people calling for McPherson to be promoted next season due to huge minor league numbers.
November 17, 201015 yr I like it. Low risk, lefty bat and a need position. McPherson's not much of a 3B though.
November 17, 201015 yr Maybe he will be the backup 1B/3B if he has a good spring? Lefty bat with some pop on the bench?

McPherson is 30 already??? Wow.

November 17, 201015 yr 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, 201015 yr by JoeCoolMan24
November 17, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) Can't wait to see people calling for McPherson to be promoted next season due to huge minor league numbers. Dallas McPherson...the new Josh Kroeger
November 17, 201015 yr My first thought was also "how is Dallas McPherson 30?" And then I remember that I'm 23. f***.

November 17, 201015 yr 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.
November 17, 201015 yr He's one of those AAAA players. The Angels are responsible for both him and Brandon Wood. How unfortunate.

November 17, 201015 yr 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
