May 15, 200520 yr Hard to believe that Lamar Hoyt's name was only mentioned once. My gosh, if there was a pitcher that the Sox had that was unhittable, he was it. I believe that it was Earl Weaver from Baltimore that quoted the press as saying in "83 playoffs, "If we didn't win this game, it would have been all over if we had to face Hoyt for the final playoff game." When Hoyt got traded, I remember seeing an interview with Fisk in the locker room. When he was asked on how he felt about The Sox trading Hoyt, he turned around and looked at the reporter with an evil eye and said on camera..."I Think It's Stupid!!" He turned back around and didn't say another word. I'm sure that didn't make uncle Jerry all too happy!

I'd say half of the people here don't remember anything from the 80's, including me, otherwise I'm sure he'd be mentioned more than once.
May 15, 200520 yr As good as Hoyt was, there's a reason the guy was traded for a rookie SS with no power and no plate discipline.
May 15, 200520 yr Hoyt was a drug addict and his career was slowly burning out after 1983. The Sox are lucky that they got Salazar, Gamble and Guillen for him.
May 15, 200520 yr Just remembering a few I of course forgot the immortal Jose Valentin. WTF WAS I THINKING?!?!?!?!!?!?!111//!?!?! I also forgot about Norberto Martin. Paco was the man And Tony Phillips for the short while he was here. Man could that guy spit

May 15, 200520 yr Gamble was traded WITH Hoyt TO the Sox. My bad. Yeah, I forgot Tim Lollar and Bill Long.

May 15, 200520 yr 1) Hurt 2) PK 3a) Ventura 3b) Fisk 4) One Dog 5) Bo 6) Raines 7) Ray Ray 8) MB 9) Ozzie 10) Roberto Hernandez ...I cant believe no one mentioned Craig Grabek....I mean Come on other honorable mentions Wilson Alverez, Alex Fernandez, Karko, and who could forget CHRIS SABO
May 15, 200520 yr The Milkman was definitley a favorite of mine too. I also kinda liked Mike Caruso. But Sirotka is my all-time favorite Sox pitcher. I loved that guy!
