2048:003 Illingworth signed to multi-year deal!

02/01/2048: News, The Black Sox are pleased to announce the signing of 31-yo Stewart Illingworth
to a $31 million contract over three years ($7.6 million per season, except a vesting option for $8.2 million in the final year) . Illingworth has been used primarily as a left-fielder over his career, but his remarkable arm caught the attention of the Black Sox management, and plans are for him to be the starting right fielder against right-handed pitchers. He should ultimately be an above-average fielder in right, but his hitting is a main draw --- he can hit for average, gap, and home run power, though he has a tendency to hit balls early in the count, so he is not the best OBP guy. Last season he had a .280/.358/.464 line for Mexico.

The Black Sox plan to play him in right throughout spring training to help him get acclimated to the position.
