Name: Chris Sabo

Rank: 160

Position: DH

Year With White Sox: 1995

Following the lockout that delayed the beginning of the 1995 season, Chris Sabo signed with the White Sox to replace Julio Franco, who had left for Japan, as the team’s designated hitter.  Sabo didn’t last long with the White Sox, as he was designated for assignment on May 25th to clear a roster spot for the recently un-retired John Kruk.  Manager Gene Lamont said Sabo took the reassignment well.  “Chris did a fine job for us. I spoke to him. He has a great outlook on things. I really wish him well, but John was the man that we wanted,” Lamont said. “Chris wants to play third every day, but obviously that’s not possible with us.”  Unable to find a trade partner, the White Sox released Sabo on June 5th.
