Rangers waive Alex City's White

I missed this Wednesday. The Rangers have put Alexander City native Bill White, a left-handed pitcher, on waivers for the purpose of giving him his release. White reached the big leagues at the end of last season, posting a 4.82 ERA in nine appearances.

Also, Skipperville's J.D. Pruitt led a minorleaguebaseball.com story about statistical oddities. The Oakland A's drafted Pruitt last year and sent him to the short-season Northwest League. He hit just .211 ... but had a .460 on-base percentage, thanks to drawing 50 walks and getting hit 34 times in 61 games.

Former Biscuit Carlos Hines has signed a minor-league contract with the Houston Astros. Hines was with San Francisco last year at Class AAA Fresno.
