Hall Finds a Taker

If you have been keeping up with the drama regarding Toby Hall lately, he took a swipe at the Devil Rays organization that was unnecessary.  You know what they say about karma, what comes around goes around. Despite finding a place to call home now, his career looks like it headed to a career as a backup catcher. Its quite disappointing for him I imagine after showing so much promise in minors.  Never had he delivered on that promise to this point in the Major Leagues. All I can tell you about my time visiting with Rays in Spring Training, is he was always on his cell phone rather than working on his game.

Must suck for the White Sox, seeing as they already have 1 very slow-running catcher.

I can't understand
How a team could possibly actually plan on giving Hall the amount of playing time proportionate to the backup catcher position. Not only based on his production, but also what he has done to the two previous organizations he has been with.

Pierzynski
is on their roster.  That should answer point two at least (I seem to recall he took his shots at both the Twins and Giants).

Maybe the Chisox will
trade AJ to the Giants for pitching prospects? ;)
