southsider2k5 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I don't know how this will go, but we'll try it anyway. Who are some of your all-time favorite White Sox players who weren't really star players. Not guys like Frank, Paulie, Buehrle etc. I saw Jose Valentin come in another thread... those are the types of guys I am talking about. Not the all-stars, but the guys you fell in love with anyway.

witesoxfan Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I have always loved middle relievers with stupid good stuff. Marte (under Manuel), Gordon, Politte, Cotts, Jenks (in 2005), Thornton, Putz, and even Nate Jones now stick out. Hermanson was awesome too. Until I found out about how big of a d-bag he was I loved Brian Anderson, even if I knew he sucked offensively. I always loved Uribe too.

southsider2k5 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Ron Kittle was a big one of mine when I was young. I even follow him on facebook now, because he is just a cool guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Always had a soft spot for G-Load. I think I may be the only person who ever goes to a Sox game with a Gload shirt. Also Ehren Wassermann - hard not to like a guy who was signed from an open tryout, and made it all the way to the majors. Even had a pretty good season in 2007. He was also just fun to watch pitch. Earlier years... I liked Greg Walker in his playing days. Rudy Law, Tim Hulett, Brook Fordyce, Scott Radinsky too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Oh and, Pablo Ozuna. His throwing a guy out from LF, the squirrel chase... he was a guy who clearly just loved playing, and had fun doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Gary Redus was a guy I really WANTED to like. He had insane speed, I remember seeing him do something I've only seen him and Rickey Henderson do - steal 2nd while the pitcher was holding the ball. He also had some power. But he just couldn't get on base enough - wild, hacky swings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Ray counts as a White Sox star though he wasn't an actual MLB star, same reason I didn't mention Aaron.
