Rank: 57

Position: 3B

Years With White Sox: 2000-2001

Herbert Perry joined the White Sox on April 21, 2000 after being selected off waivers from the Devil Rays.  Perry initially was a backup to Greg Norton, but solid defense and a hot bat led to him getting more and more playing time, eventually becoming the everyday third baseman as the White Sox cruised to their first Central Division title.  He finished the year with a .308 average, 12 home runs, and 61 RBIs.  Perry was one of the few White Sox regulars who continued to hit in the post-season, putting up a .444 average in the ALDS against the Mariners.

Injuries and the acquisition of Royce Clayton limited Perry to 92 games in 2001.  His average dropped to .256 and his home runs fell to 7.  After the season, he was traded to the Rangers for a player to be named later.
