The White Sox have re-signed 31-year old lefty swinging 3B Dallas McPherson. McPherson played in 11 games for the White Sox last year and he was 2 for 15 (.133 avg, .267 OPS) with 1 run scored. He also played in 101 games in AAA-ball last year and he was 111 of 392 (.283 avg, .839 OPS) with 54 runs scored, 20 homers, 69 RBIs and 15 stolen bases. McPherson has now played in 139 games in his first five years in the majors and he is 93 for 386 (.241 avg, .738 OPS) with 54 runs scored, 18 homers, 45 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. He is a good insurance policy to have stashed in AAA.

The White Sox have picked up 34-year old righty reliever Jason Frasor’s option for 2012 valued at $3.75 milllion bucks. Frasor pitched in 20 games (0 starts) for the White Sox after coming over from Toronto in the Edwin Jackson deal and he was 1-2 with a 5.09 ERA and a 1.76 WHIP. He pitched in 64 games (0 starts) overall for the Blue Jays and White Sox last year and he was 3-3 with a 3.60 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP. Frasor has now pitched in 475 games (0 starts) in his first 8 years in the majors and he was 25-30 with 36 saves, a 3.74 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. It was smart for the Pale Hose to pick up Frasor’s otpion as he is a much better pitcher than he showed them last year.
