Angels: Erstad signs with White Sox
A source has confirmed that Darin Erstad is headed to the South Side of Chicago after the veteran agreed to a one-year deal with the White Sox.
The White Sox have a history of taking gambles on players either coming off injuries, had an inability to meet expectations or who have a checkered past. Erstad, of course, only fits the injury category. The White Sox won a World Series two seasons ago with guys like Jermaine Dye, Jose Contreras, Carl Everett, A.J. Pierzynski and Bobby Jenks.
Erstad's Angels career ends with a .286 career average, 114 home runs and 625 RBI.
Although nothing is officially planned now, the Angels are sure to recognize Erstad when the White Sox come into town for a three-game series May 4-6.
