The White Sox agreed to terms with outfielder Lastings Milledge on a Minor League contract that includes an invitation to Major League Spring Training, the club announced Thursday.
nice move Kenny!
UPDATE: J.J. Stankenvitz explains why Lastings should be the 4th outfielder.
UPDATE #2: Ken Rosenthal tweets:
Milledge’s salary with White Sox will be $500,000 when he is in majors. Minor-league deal. No incentives.

he should be in the majors, a good pinch runner or defensive outfielder, and a bat that has potential. he would be a decent bench outfielder, he’s a vet compared to de aza.

you see my point, a huge plus is his defense, I haven’t seen much of him but you have to have good d to play outfield at pnc park. I don’t like lillybridge. so he can go to the minors and milledge can be our pnch runner. lots of options because of viciedo in the outfield too.
