wegner Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Hat tip to @dohnutfor the idea to help us forget this group of current losers by remembering past losers. List 10 White Sox players who you personally disliked the most. I will start with the 10 guys who popped quickly into my head and I am sure that I have missed some good ones so I look forward to other Soxtalker's Lists. Mine, in no particular order: Brett Lawrie Jeff Samardzija Joey Cora Nick Swisher Royce Clayton Rob Dibble Kevin Youkilis Billy Koch David Wells Jamie Navarro Sorry to make it 11 but I remembered who I hated most recently and didn't want to remove any of the deserving above....AJ Pollock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orland Hudson, acquired in the same season, is probably more deserving ha Edited December 5, 2023 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent pickup for Brent Lillibridge and Zach Stewart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I tried to do this organically. Navarro just sucked, replacing Alex Fernandez. Kemp, for being traded for Lemon. Wells and Kruk could have kept their mouths shut, leaving. Viciedo and Avisail for all the unfulfilled prospect. Beckham was just a sad sack. Ritchie fell off a table, and LaRoche could really just suck it. Jaime Navarro Todd Ritchie Steve Kemp David Wells Nick Swisher John Kruk Dayan Viciedo Adam LaRoche Avisail Garcia Gordon Beckham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 White Sox Hall of Shame (1975-2023) Alphabetical order Daryl Boston Brooks Boyer Mike Clevinger Eddie Einhorn Ozzie Guillen Dallas Keuchel Tony La Russa Lance Lynn Jerry Reinsdorf David Wells Clevenger and Guillen involved chewing tobacco. Ozzie pulled spent tobacco out of his mouth and threw it at a mother and daughter respectfully asking for an autograph. I witnessed this personally pregame working as an Andy Frain at the Crosstown Classic at Wrigley Field on May 19, 1986. I was only a junior in high school but wanted to jump into the first base dugout where I was stationed during batting / fielding practice and beat his ass. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I've done a decent job of erasing so many shitty players from memory that it was hard to come up with 10, but off the top of my head: Swisher Smardjiza (I don't care to remember how to spell his name right) James Shields Brett Lawrie Bummer Leury Gordon Beckham Adam LaRoche Adam Dunn Gavin Sheets 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember Harry or Jimmy saying meep meep when he ran down the 1B line. Anyway, I saw in his obituary from 2020 that he was a 5 tool OF!!

pmb0928 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I will just add 1 player who should be on there. Yonder Alonso. Signed for 2 years and 9 million dollars so we could entice his brother in law to the team. He had positive WAR all prior years and had over 20 HRs in his last 3 full seasons. He proceeded to hit .178, have a -1.5 WAR in only 67 games with a whopping 7 HRs. He was out of baseball the next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol he was exactly what they needed Every game I attended in person with Joey Cora in a White Sox uniform....every one....he did something either stupid or made an error at a key time in the game or failed miserably at the plate. I'm more of a Durham/Iguchi/Bernazard guy myself. Also loved Jorge Orta. But I will not argue with you that I am one of the best. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
