Name: Mark Kotsay
Rank: 182
Position: 1B/DH
Years With White Sox: 2009-2010
Mark Kotsay came to the White Sox in a deadline deal on July 28, 2009 which sent Brian Anderson back to the Red Sox. He finished strong for a disappointing White Sox team that finished in 3rd place and 4 games under .500, hitting .292 in 40 games for the south siders.
Kotsay returned to the White Sox in 2010, in an ill-fated attempt to split the DH duties with Andruw Jones. Appearing in over 100 games, Kotsay’s production fell off, as he hit only .239 with 8 home runs. Following the season, he became a free agent, ending his association with the White Sox.
Kotsay’s numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:
