Dallas Lyle McPherson (born July 23, 1980) is an American former professional baseball third baseman and current minor league coach.

He ended the season with a .277 batting average with 15 home runs with 30 stolen bases and led the team with 88 RBIs and 78 bases-on-balls.

He made his Major League debut on September 10, 2004, against the Chicago White Sox as a pinch runner.

With third baseman Troy Glaus limited to the designated hitter role due to a shoulder injury, McPherson started 11 games down the stretch beginning on September 20 and was the Angels' starting third baseman in their playoff series versus the Boston Red Sox.

Approximately one-third into the season, McPherson's bat heated up and he began hitting like he had been projected to do, including knocking in a pair of game-winning home runs in a series against the Kansas City Royals.

However, he did not hit well during the exhibition season, and that job fell to Chone Figgins, leaving no role on the team for McPherson.

After re-discovering his home run stroke at Salt Lake, the Angels called McPherson back to the active roster in May.

On November 20, 2009 McPherson was signed to a minor league contract with the Oakland Athletics, with an invitation to spring training; He was expected to compete for the starting 3rd base position.
