April 3, 201510 yr I don't get this at all. He was awful last year. Hopefully it's just some Minor League depth.

April 3, 201510 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 06:54 PM) @jonmorosi: Matt Lindstrom has signed with the #WhiteSox, source says. nooooooo
April 3, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 01:26 PM) nooooooo Really don't want to see him pitching on the south side - that would mean things are going badly among the other Charlotte possibilities. But we're not super-deep, so I get it. Edited April 3, 201510 yr by Stan Bahnsen

April 3, 201510 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 08:49 PM) This really couldn't hurt, maybe he does have something left. In my opinion, he's done. 11 ERA in the Spring, and his fastball lost 2 mph last year.
April 3, 201510 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 08:16 PM) I love this addition. Best addition of the offseason, in my opinion. Another good sign management wants to contend this season. Keep bringing in bodies in case it's like last year and guys are effective for 1-2 appearances then get lit up. Hope Coop is enthused and ready to manage some bodies.

April 3, 201510 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 02:32 PM) How far we've come: Matt Lindstrom was our closer last April/May That was my thought also. I don't suppose it'll hurt to have him in AAA just in case, but it doesn't sound good that the Angels cut him.
April 3, 201510 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 02:17 PM) *both middle fingers extended towards Jose Paniagua* I'm not sure why, but Scott Linebrink might be my least favorite Sox player of all-time. In my head, it feels like he single-handedly robbed us of two or three World Championships. No idea why his impact is so hyperbolic and overstated in my head.

April 3, 201510 yr Minor league deal? Awesome. Hopefully Rick Hahn is filling up his BOGO punchcard and gets one free here soon.
April 3, 201510 yr Lindstrom at times is a decent enough 6th / 7th inning swing guy. He is not a closer or an 8th inning guy. Relievers can be streaky so I have no problem with Matt on a minor league deal.
