Chad Pinder never really got on track this year. Between injuries and his struggles with the bat, he produced a .232/.295/.393 batting line in his 61 plate appearances, hitting two homers and three doubles. A two week stint on the Injured List cost Pinder much of the last part of the season, but he was able to return on Sunday, notching a hit in three plate appearances.
With the A’s set to face the White Sox in the first round, those three plate appearances may appear to be the last ones that Pinder would receive for a few days.
