CA Boring News: Dale Signed 2040.9

Sacramento (AP) -- The California Crusaders made a very nondescript addition to their squad this afternoon by signing free-agent first baseman, Benjamin Dale, to a one year contract. The six-year BBA veteran gives the Crusaders a viable right-handed option at both first base and designated hitter. Dale compiled 9 WAR over the past six seasons for Montreal, with 2039 being his worst showing as he slashed career lows in batting average (.214), on-base-percentage (.291), and slugging (.371). He holds a career slash-line of .261/.347/.472.

"We hope a change in scenery will get El Santo (Dale) back to the player he was in 2038," said California GM, Shoeless Olmsted. "It was just two seasons ago where he sported a 4.4 WAR at first base and slugged 36 dingers. If we can see some of that, it will put us in great shape moving forward."

Dale signed a one year/$2.39 million contract.

If you and Chris think I’m not stealing this idea for some inappropriate locker-room-style team news, you’re quite mistaken.
