Toby Hall signs with the white sox

White Sox signed catcher Toby Hall, who had been with the Dodgers, to a two-year, $3.65 million contract with a club option for 2009.

 

Hall said he wasn't ready to be a backup, but to no one's surprise, he went where the money was. He'll earn $1.75 million in each of the next two years. The 2009 option is worth $2.25 million and includes a $150,000 buyout. Hall will likely act as the platoon partner of the left-handed-hitting A.J. Pierzynski. He's not much of a hitter overall, but his .274/.319/.403 career line against lefties isn't too bad.

 

interesting.

Pretty good move. The White Sox needed a backup pretty badly, and Hall is pretty solid as a reserve.

I thought he wasn't willing to accept a backup role and that is why he wasn't interested in the yankees. What gives?
