DFA'd by Atlanta. I thought this guy looked pretty good last year. Watching him this year, he seems to want to hit everything five miles, swinging much too hard. Maybe with some coaching, he could solve that.

We could use a 3rd baseman for a week or so, but he doesn't seem like the answer.
Meanwhile, Conor Gillaspie (whom most of you disliked) is now hitting .284 with a .342 obp in 141 at-bats with the White Sox. He also has a better fielding percentage than Sandoval.

Boagie -- Meanwhile, Conor Gillaspie (whom most of you disliked) is now hitting .284 with a .342 obp in 141 at-bats with the White Sox. He also has a better fielding percentage than Sandoval. Rog -- While he's fallen back a bit, the White Sox must be pleased with Conor so far this season. He's hit decently for them, and I think his glove has been much improved. I suspect Conor will wind up being a backup-type player in the long run, but for now he's been a pretty effective platoon player. Sometimes I don't give a player enough credit for a good K/BB ratio, and Conor may turn out to be such a player. His 282/211 K/BB ratio in the minors was actually pretty good. Conor's problem was a lack of pop for a corner infielder. A lack of power continues to be his biggest concern, although glove problems could also resurface. My guess is still that Conor will wind up as a backup or even a Four A player. His OPS is down to .732 now, which isn't really very good at all for a platooning corner infielder. I think I might rather have him than Nick Noonan, although Nick is much more versatile. Tough call, and neither is a world-beater.
