Each season I have posted this, but forgot to this year. So here it is - a look at how all White Sox pitchers have fared in their careers as hitters...

 

Mark Buehrle: 4-40 (.100/.122/.175/.297), 1 HR, 1 BB, 21 K, 7 Sac

Jake Peavy: 73-405 (.180/.220/.235/.455), 2 HR, 1 3B, 14 2B, 18 BB, 116 K, 45 Sac

Gavin Floyd: 2-46 (.043/.043/.043/.086), 0 BB, 26 K, 3 Sac

John Danks: 1-10 (.100/.182/.100/.282), 1 BB, 5 K, 1 Sac

Freddy Garcia: 12-58 (.207/.230/.241/.471), 2 2B, 19 K, 13 Sac

 

Bobby Jenks: never hit

JJ Putz: never hit

Scott Linebrink: 4-18 (.222/.222/.278/.500), 1 2B, 0 BB, 10 K, 2 Sac

Matt Thornton: 0-1, K

Tony Pena: 1-7 (.143/.143/.143/.286), ) BB, 2 K, 0 Sac

Sergio Santos: never hit

Randy Williams: 0-1

 

So... Freddy, Jake and Linebrink seem to be our best hitting pitchers.

 

Fun thread. With a minor league OPS of almost .700, Sergio Santos presumably could put put a major league OPS of .400 or .500 or so (he really struggled in the higher leagues).

Gavin Floyd is one of the worst hitters I have ever watched.

Jose Contreras says hello.

I would like to see Bobby Jenks hit. Just once.

He does look awkward in there (like he always does, but he also kind of hits like Moises Alou).

 

He did have a walk and almost a base hit in that game on Sunday though.

I bet he is the Prince Fielder of pitchers batting.

His flyout was hit harder than probably half of the players on either team hit that day. It was sad.

We should play garcia at 2nd base on days he is not pitching.

I really want to see Bobby and Santos hit.
