Rick White

From the Boston Globe:

Rick White: The former Pittsburgh reliever tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he'll sign with either the Yankees or Red Sox this week. White had a very good season in 2005, posting a 3.72 ERA in 71 games and made just $475,000. The journeyman has pitched with Tampa, New York Mets, White Sox, Cardinals, and Astros.

Please let it be Boston. He'll be 37-years-old next year. Plus, in his "very good season in 2005" he allowed 119 base runners in 75 innings pitched. His strikeout rates have gone down for the last three years in a row.

I would not sign him even if it was for the league minimum. Pass.

What could he possibly offer that some random kid from the minors can't?

Pass on this one

Raf, you know the answer to that!

He's a Proven Veteran, for goodness sakes!
(please, please please let the Red Sox sign him)
