Name: Tim Lollar

Rank: 305

Position: P

Year With White Sox: 1985

Tim Lollar was acquired by the White Sox in December of 1984 from the Padres along with Bill Long, Luis Salazar, and a minor league shortstop named Ozzie Guillen in exchange for 2 minor leaguers and former Cy Young award winner LaMarr Hoyt.  Lollar started the 1985 campaign in the rotation for the South Siders, but by late May, his spot was getting skipped and he started getting work out of the bullpen.  It seemed that his time with the White Sox would be short.

Trade rumors around Lollar started swirling in June, with the Red Sox looking like a likely landing spot.  Initial reports had Boston offering Wade Boggs, Bruce Hurst and Mark Clear in exchange for Richard Dotson and Luis Salazar.  The White Sox countered with Lollar, Salazar and a relief pitcher for Boggs.  While a blockbuster involving the future Hall of Famer obviously never materialized, the two Soxes eventually came to a meeting of the minds on Lollar, with him heading to Boston in early June in exchange for outfielder Reid Nichols.

Lollar’s numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:
