Rondell White

If defense is irrelevant, he's a good pickup, as his ops was over .900 versus lefties last year and his ops was over .800 against lefties from 02-04.

 

About all I remember from his previous stint w/ the Cubs was that he was hurt alot, but he could sure hit when healthy. His arm was brutal though. And I can't remember if he liked it in Chicago???

 

Is he a good platoon/pinch hit pickup for 2 years and 4-5 million?

He would be a very good pick up at that cost. Although he's really a better fit on an AL team where he can DH.

I'm pretty sure it was White who some member here got to chat it up with on a cruise. IIRC, he loved Chicago. White would be a great pickup at this juncture.

Sounds good. Would love to see him coming in late as a pinch hitter. Beats the heck out Macias.

I started a thread a couple of weeks ago in which I suggested Rond-DL would make a great option.

Anything that limits the playing time of jones would be great. That said, if we got White it would be Murton's playtime being cut down instead of Jones. Grr, i hate this organization.

That's a valid concern given Baker's vet fetish, but considering White's poor durability, I don't think he'll eat up much of Murton's time unless Murton really struggles.
