WSC Birth Years: Alejandro De Aza

Card #69 - Alejandro De Aza

Born: April 11, 1984

Having a taste of the big leagues with the Florida Marlins in 2007 and 2009, Alejandro was hoping for the best when he was claimed off of waivers by the White Sox on October 21, 2009. He came to Spring Training with the ChiSox hungry to make the team and opened plenty of eyes.

De Aza was one of the last players cut before the Sox headed into the season. That fantastic spring made it an easy decision when the rosters opened up in September 2010. Alejandro was among the first group called up. He has been used as a pinch runner during the first week with the Sox. De Aza has taken the opportunity and ran with it; literally. During his first days with the parent club, Alejandro has one stolen base and scored a run in four appearances.
