Alex White learns Indians' ways

Posted Aug 30, 2009
Since right-handed pitcher Alex White tossed 107 innings in 16 starts as a junior at the University of North Carolina, and then didn't sign with the Tribe until two minutes before the Aug. 15 deadline, it was deemed too late to join even a short-season squad. So the Indians brass went with Plan B and told the 6-foot-3, 200-pounder to just hang out with the Double-A Aeros while he works to get his arm back in shape. (Akron Beacon Journal)
