    White Sox Erstad Signs 1yr deal with White Sox

    Darin Erstad will sign a one-year deal with the White Sox, MLB.com reports.
    An option for 2008 is included. Erstad is set to battle Brian Anderson and Ryan Sweeney for the center field job this spring. He could also play some left if Scott Podsednik isn't going to be ready for the beginning of the season. Ideally, he'd be a fourth outfielder. However, there's a good chance he'll play over Anderson against right-handers until he gets hurt again.

    I didn't even know Erstad was a free agent.

    The White Sox finally get him seven years after the Angels' upper management (the Disney people) shot down a pending trade that would have sent Erstad to Chicago in exchange for Jon Garland and Chris Singleton. Erstad went on to have a career year for the Angels.

    Chris Singleton, meanwhile, went on to die in Baltimore.

    Erstad and Podsednik in the same lineup! Is there a softer 1-2 combo of non-power hitters in baseball?

    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    I doubt they will be in the same lineup.

    At least you didn't marry a Red Sox fan. I don't think I would ever respond to your posts again.

    Trash talking with Red Sox fans is always fun. I get along well with all the Sawxies at this site though.
