2007

Eli Whiteside is probably wondering if he accidentally ran over the Angelos family cat or something; he didn`t pan out as a prospect, but c`mon, Chris Widger?

2005

The only thing Geronimo Gil has on Eli Whiteside is that Gil has a couple of hundred major league at-bats, while Whiteside has yet to play above Double-A. He's got the defensive chops for the job, which is usually the first hurdle towards getting a shot in the majors, and he is a much better power hitter than Gil, but he's going to struggle to post even a .300 OBP. As a starter that kills a team, but you might be able to live with it in your backup, if the pop and defense are there.
