Name: Rob Dibble
Rank: 223
Position: P
Year With White Sox: 1995
After rotator cuff surgery forced him to miss the entire 1994 season, Rob Dibble signed with the White Sox as a free agent in late February of 1995. Dibble got off to a tremendous start with his new team, claiming that replacement players were “going to be labeled like child molesters for the rest of their lives,” which earned him a suspension during spring training.
Once the season got underway, Dibble found other, performance-related reasons to let down his new club. Unfortunately, the arm injuries robbed him of both his command and his velocity, which left him as a pretty ineffective option out of Gene Lamont’s and Terry Bevington’s bullpen. His WHIP was well over 2, and the last straw came in mid-July when he was suspended 3 games for throwing at Brewers second baseman Pat Listach’s head. Before he could serve the suspension, the White Sox waived the troubled reliever, bringing his brief South Side career to an end.
Dibble’s numbers in a White Sox uniform were:
| Wins | Losses | ERA | Saves | IP | Hits | Runs | ER | Walks | Strike Outs | HR | HBP | Games |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 6.28 | 1 | 14.333 | 7 | 10 | 10 | 27 | 16 | 1 | 3 | 16 |
