Name: Ben Davis
Rank: 262
Position: C
Year With White Sox: 2004
Ben Davis was acquired by the White Sox along side Freddy Garcia in the June 27, 2004 trade that sent Mike Morse, Miguel Olivo, and Jeremy Reed to the Mariners. Davis appeared in 54 games for the White Sox after the trade, putting up an anemic .231 batting average.
He re-signed with the White Sox for the 2005 campaign, but the arrival of A.J. Pierzynski meant Davis started the year in Triple A Charlotte. He only appeared in 10 games before a fractured finger and a right elbow injury ended his season. He underwent Tommy John surgery, was released at the end of the season, and never played in the major leagues again.
