The Chicago White Sox sign Scott Olsen
The Chicago White Sox have signed 28-year old lefty starting pitcher Scott Olsen to a minor league deal with a club option for 2013. Olsen didn’t pitch at all last season due to a shoulder injury. He last pitched in the majors back in 2010 with the Washington Nationals. Olsen has pitched in 130 games (127 starts) in his first six years in the majors and he is 37-49 with a 4.85 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP. This was a nice low risk move for the White Sox as Olsen was a decent starting pitcher earlier in his career.
