White Sox Decline Options On Erstad, Myers

The Chicago White Sox on Wednesday declined club options for 2008 on infielder/outfielder Darin Erstad and left-hander Mike Myers.

Erstad's option was for $3.5 million, and Myers' was for $1.1 million.

Erstad's one season with the White Sox was marred by injuries. He twice went to the disabled list and ended up batting .248 with four homers and 32 RBIs in 87 games. He signed with the White Sox last January after spending 11 seasons with the Los Angeles Angels.
