StatManDu Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 SCOTT SANDERSON SIGNED 1994: Seeking a fifth starter, the White Sox signed veteran pitcher Scott Sanderson to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training, which was well under way, as a non-roster player. The 37-year-old right-hander earned a spot in the Sox rotation and got off to a searing start. Sanderson was 2-0 with a 3.57 ERA in April, 2-0 with a 3.32 ERA in May and 3-2 with a 3.55 ERA in June. Sanderson’s best outing with the Sox came in June. On June 19, the Glenbrook High School graduate held the Angels hitless into the seventh and took a shutout into the ninth before settling for a three-hit victory in a 3-1 triumph at Comiskey Park. Things went south for Sanderson in July when he went 1-2 with a 10.24 ERA. In his final stint with the Sox, Sanderson gave up two runs – both on homers – in one-third of an inning Aug. 6 at California. The outing turned out to be his last with the Sox because of the work stoppage. All told, Sanderson went 8-4 with a 5.09 ERA in 18 games (14 starts) for the 1994 Sox. The Vanderbilt product went the free agent route after the season and signed with the Angels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
