Conor Gillaspie officially ran his course with the Chicago White Sox, and now he's following the path of the guy who once ran into him during his effort to catch a 27th out.
Yup, Gillaspie's DFA resulted in him taking the Gordon Beckham Memorial Tollway to Anaheim, where he'll serve as a replacement third baseman until David Freese comes back from a broken finger.
Gillaspie was the right guy during a dark time in Sox history. For one, he only cost the Sox Jeff Soptic, who is repeating High-A for the third straight year at age 24, whereas Gillaspie played well enough to make Jeff Keppinger expendable.
