Name: Aurelio Rodriguez
Rank: 196
Position: 3B
Years With White Sox: 1982, 1983
Aurelio Rodriguez first joined the White Sox on April 2, 1982, when he was traded from the Blue Jays in exchange for Wayne Nordhagen.
Rodriguez played decently for the 82 Sox, hitting .241 in 118 games while helping to stabilize the defense on the left side of the infield.
Following the season, Rodriguez left the White Sox as a free agent and signed on with the Orioles. However, he played sporadically and saw his average drop to .119 before being released in mid-August. On August 31, the last day to be eligible for post-season rosters, he re-signed with the White Sox and appeared in 22 games down the stretch. His career came to an end with 2 appearances as a defensive replacement in the 1983 ALCS against, ironically, the Orioles.
