Dallas McPherson -- Released

Looks like McPherson never panned out for the Marlins. When we finally do take a chance on Wood, will he be more like Glaus or more like McPherson?

better than Glaus :)

McPherson would have been good if he could have stayed healthy but w/e

I feel badly for the guy

He’s a kid who never pouted or demanded anything. When he was cut by the Angels he was professional and even gracious.

Last season, he led the minors in HR, but just didn’t have a good enough Spring to warrant a bench role, and was out of options. I hope he finds a good fit, and soon.

Third time's a charm

i knew they would regret it for some reason or another from the start

Dallas might still be around mid April when Nomah gets hurt

D-Mac to Oakland? To teach Cust how to lay off pitches out of the zone?

Tough luck D-Mac

If I were a GM I would consider him

He has some outstanding offensive talent, it’s really too bad how much crap he’s dealt with. When he was with the Angels, I loved his power. I remember when he hit one or two homers into the bullpen in left, not too many left handers have done that at Angel Stadium(that I’ve noticed).

If the Angels had room for him, which they don’t, I would approve of them bringing him back on a small contract. Some day he’ll have his time to shine.

And that day will come

when he is inducted into the inaugural class of the Minor League Baseball Hall of Fame.

I do feel bad for the guy, though. I remember always being so excited about him being apart of the team.

we should just pick him back up as insurance to kendry getting hurt

he’ll want playing time though.

didnt the giants want him? or maybe the astros or someone like that.

teams need to start thinking of mcpherson as a power threat off the bench instead of an everyday player

His agent is Boras!

The Giants are going with a rookie 3B

Pablo Sandoval, who is a switch-hitter showing a .657 SLG this Spring. Sure, you can’t base an entire season on that, but he has won the job and with Rich Aurelia and Jose Uribe backing him up, there isn’t a spot for backup.

I saw his name connected to...

the Yankees. It makes sense, to have a guy like that come off the bench for A-Rod… especially right now. If they sign him to a minor league deal he could be their version of our Brandon Wood.
