I misread the question. I thought you meant only two world series champs had players that won a gold glove.

 

Well in that case, I think Guillen won one and I'd say Carlton Fisk probably won one too. Third choice would be Ventura because he was amazing but I don't know if he ever won the award.

 

I thought it was Ventura and Guillen.

5 with the Sox, 1 with the Mets.

Before Guillen in '90, who was the last WS player to win a GG?

Ken Berry?

If Erstad is capable of playing a passable CF for next season (which I really don't think he can) then I suppose he's not the absolute worst option, close but not quite it'll be like having Timo back again. Of course when he does go down with an injury or shows ineptitude in the OF it's going to really suck going another season without a legit 4th OF.

 

What it comes down to is what is the most pressing need/what one thing can help us the most. There likely isn't going to be one player out there available who can fix every minor need on offense/defense.

 

Is it someone who can play a viable CF and is better than a minor-leaguer with the bat? Is it a hot shot right-handed bat to fill in for Thome 20 games a year? Is it a strong defensive first baseman?

 

My guess is that the organization feels that a viable backup cf is the biggest need. Erstad's ability to play first base and his other intagibles are a bonus. There really aren't that many viable backup cf's available. There aren't any of those that are still free agents other than Erstad and Steve Finley. Would it be better if we could get a righty? You bet. But who is he? We've got Terrero.

What about Mike Squires in 1981?

DINGDINGDING!

 

 

How about before Squires?

 

Heh.

 

I missed Squires on the list.

I'm pretty sure it's Jim Kaat. Aparicio would be my 2nd guess.

 

They both won, but there's a guy between Kaat and Squires.

i love white sox trivia :)

1) I have one for you all. Name the 3 partners Hawk Harrelson has had in the booth since he started for the Sox in 1982.

 

2) Before Hawk started in 1982, who were the 2 announcers for the White Sox?

 

1) Don Drysdale, Tom Paciorek, Darrin Jackson

 

2) Harry Caray, Jimmy Piersall...?

just to think, when Hawk retires....we are not going to be seeing "You can put in on the board.... YESSS!" T-shirts anymore, we will start seeing.. "Uhhh Ohhhh... BYE BYE!" Tshirts.

Someone on the White Sox Official website message board is reporting that we just signed Erstad. The guy said he has a close source, so who knows. Just thought I would mention this.

If this is true..its definitley great news! OUr bench is solid!

1993- Gene Lamont

2000- Jerry Manual

2005- Ozzie Guillen

 

I'm guessing 5? I may be wrong on the Torborg one.

DINGDINGDING!
