Name: Darin Erstad
Rank: 136
Position: CF/1B
Year With White Sox: 2007
Darin Erstad signed with the White Sox as a free agent prior to the 2007 season. His White Sox career started with a bang, as he hit a home run off C.C. Sabathia in his first at bat on Opening Day. Sadly, things deteriorated from there for both Erstad and the White Sox.
He appeared in only 87 games for the White Sox as the team, only 2 years removed from their World Series championship, found themselves losing 90 games for the first time since 1989. After the season, Erstad left as a free agent.
Erstad’s numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:
| BA | At Bats | Runs | Hits | RBI | Walks | Strike Outs | Doubles | Triples | HR | SB | GIDP | Errors | Games |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.341 | 44 | 8 | 15 | 6 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 12 |
| 0.248 | 310 | 33 | 77 | 32 | 28 | 44 | 13 | 1 | 4 | 7 | 4 | 2 | 87 |
