Rank: 82

Position: OF

Year With White Sox: 1985-1986

John Cangelosi was selected by the White Sox in the 4th round of the 1982 January draft.  He made his major league debut on June 30, 1985, going 0-2 in the White Sox 4-3 loss to the Twins at Comiskey Park.  He appeared in 4 more games during the 1985 seasons, earning 1 additional plate appearance.

In 1986, Cangelosi surprised everyone by earning the center fielder job in spring training, beating out Rudy Law and Daryl Boston.  He finished the year with a .235 batting average, but set an American League rookie record with 50 stolen bases.

The following spring, Cangelosi did not repeat his impressive performance and, on March 27, he was traded to the Pirates for Jim Winn.  He returned to the organization on a minor league deal in 1991, but was traded to the Brewers for Esteban Beltre less than 2 months later.

Ray Searage was acquired by the White Sox in a deadline deal with the Brewers for Al Jones and a minor leaguer.  He was tremendous for the Sox, appearing in 29 games and finishing with a 0.62 ERA.

His 1987 season, while respectable, was a bit of a letdown after that debut.  He finished the year with a 4.20 ERA.  He was released during a veteran purge by GM Larry Himes towards the end of spring training in 1988, along with Jim Winn and Jerry Hairston.

Today, Searage has returned to the major leagues as the pitching coach for the resurgent Pittsburgh Pirates.
