JoshPR Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Another Year of Disapointment for the Sox as injuries and shallow pitching allowed the Sox to finish 5th (71-90) in the AL West. On the field the Sox were in the bottom in runs scored with (631) and batting average (.244) only Baltimore was worse. The hitting star was Harold Baines that after an injury prone 1987 took over a full time DH role and hit .277 with 13 homers and 81 RBI’s. Catcher Carlton Fisk (.277), First baseman Greg Walker (.247) and leftfielder Ivan Calderon (.212) battled injuries all season long. Fisk had 19 homers and 50 RBI’s. Part timers Dan Pasqua (.227) and Darryl Boston (.217) had 20 and 15 homers a piece. Promising Center Fielder Kenny Williams was demoted after hitting .158 and a failed Experiment at Third base which saw him make 14 Errors in 30 games. Ozzie Guillen and Gary Redus had 25 steals a piece. The Pitching leader was Veteran Jerry Reuss (13-9) who was signed in spring training and finished with a 3.44 ERA. Melido Perez (12 - 10) 3.79 ERA and Jack McDowell (5-10) 3.97 ERA 2 promising right handers rounded out the staff. Bobby Thigpen added 34 saves. After the season manager Jim Fregosi was fired and replaced by Jeff Torborg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 is not 1988 the year it was decided to build the new ball park? hell, I loved Comiskey but it was time to go. And I love USCF.

The Critic Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Part timers Dan Pasqua (.227) and Darryl Boston (.217) had 20 and 15 homers a piece. A very minor grammatical quibble: That quote should read "respectively" since they did not have the same HR total. As in: "Ozzie Guillen and Gary Redus had 25 steals a piece." Second minor quibble: "apiece" is one word when used in this context. [/quibbling] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
