JANUARY 30: ANOTHER MOCK SOX: NOVOA

1995: The White Sox signed left-handed pitcher Rafael Novoa as a free agent. The 27-year old Novoa had limited big league experience, going 0-4 with a 5.06 ERA in 22 games (nine starts) for the Giants in 1990 and Brewers in 1993. The New York native was listed in the White Sox 1995 information guide for spring training which included none of the “union” players who were out on strike. Novoa was among the “Mock Sox” in Sarasota who had big league experience. Some of the others included Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd, John Davis, Calvin Jones, Bill Lindsey, Barry Lyons, Junior Ortiz, Kent Anderson, Al Chambers and Henry Cotto. None of these Sox made it to the bigs as the conflict was settled in late March.

 

I tweet about White Sox history, facts and oddities throughout the day at @DaveMarran ... no money to be made or products to push. I just enjoy it!
