Name: Armando Rios

Position: CF
Year With White Sox: 2003
Armando Rios signed with the White Sox as a free agent prior to the 2003 season, with the expectation that he would fill the left handed bat off the bench role vacated by the recently departed Jeff Liefer. Unfortunately, Rios did not perform as well as expected, and he was designated for assignment in early July when the White Sox acquired Carl Everett.
Rios rejoined the team as a September callup for the stretch run, but he still did not perform as the White Sox finished 4 games behind the Twins. Following the season, Rios was granted free agency, and he bounced around the minor leagues for a while, but never played in the major leagues again.
