Lastings Milledge signed a minor league deal with the White Sox on February 3, 2011. \u00a0He earned his way on to the major league squad in spring training and headed north with the team. \u00a0He lasted less than a week. \u00a0He went 1 for 4 in his 2 appearances, but was the odd man out when 2 straight 12-inning games left the White Sox with a need for an extra arm in the bullpen.<\/p>\n

I was on the plane thinking all flight how I was going to handle it. He handled it very well. I talked to Milledge about the problem we have. Unfortunately, that’s part of the game. It’s one of the hardest talks I had with any of the players.”<\/p>\n

Milledge spent the rest of the season in Triple A, and left to play in Japan following the season.<\/p>\n
