Brent Lillibridge was acquired by the White Sox, along with Tyler Flowers and 2 minor leaguers, from the Braves in exchange for Javier Vazquez and Boone Logan on December 4, 2008. He split the 2009 season between Triple A Charlotte and Chicago, hitting an anemic .158 in 95 at bats spread across 46 games.
Lillibridge stuck with the White Sox in 2010, improving his average to .224 in only 64 games. 2011 was his best season, setting career highs in home runs, RBIs, batting average, and OPS. On April 11, he hit the 10,000th home run in White Sox history off Dallas Braden and the A’s.
