#303 – Dewon Day

Chicago+White+Sox+Photo+Day+DTGVwRS1MaylName: Dewon Day

Rank: 303

Position: P

Year With White Sox: 2007

Very little went right for the White Sox in 2007.  The bullpen, which GM Kenny Williams had stacked with power arms, imploded, and when one of those arms was sent down to the minors for more seasoning, young Dewon Day was called up to take his place.

Day was acquired by the White Sox in December of 2005 as a Rule 5 draft pick out of the Blue Jays organization.  He made his major league debut on May 28, 2007 against the Twins, giving up 2 runs in 1 inning of work.  Unfortunately, this was pretty indicative of how his season would go, as he ended up with an 11.25 ERA over 13 games in 2 stints with the big league club.  He made his final appearance on July 23, throwing a scoreless inning in a loss to the Tigers.

Day spent the entire 2008 season in the minor leagues, and, following the season, he was placed on waivers and selected by the Red Sox.

Day’s numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:

Wins Losses ERA Saves IP Hits Runs ER Walks Strike Outs HR HBP Games
0 0 13.50 0 2 2 3 3 2 0 1 0 2
0 1 11.25 0 12 19 15 15 9 7 1 2 13
