\"vance-law\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Vance Law<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a094<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong>\u00a03B<\/p>\n

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01982-1984<\/p>\n

As spring training was winding down in 1982, the White Sox acquired Vance Law, along with Ernie Camacho, from the Pirates in exchange for Ross Baumgarten and Butch Edge. \u00a0Law jumped around the infield for the White Sox, spending time at shortstop, third base, and second base. \u00a0In his first major league stint with regular playing time, Law responded by hitting .281 with 5 home runs.<\/p>\n

The offseason acquisitions of Jerry Dybzinski and Scott Fletcher meant Law could focus on third base for the 1983 season. \u00a0His offense suffered some, with his batting average dropping nearly 40 points, but he helped the White Sox secure their first post-season appearance since 1959. \u00a0Unfortunately, Law, like the rest of his teammates, struggled against the Orioles in the ALCS. \u00a0Law managed only 2 hits in the 4 game series.<\/p>\n

While the White Sox regressed in 1984, Law put up arguably his best season as a pro. \u00a0He set a career high in games played and home runs, while his batting average rebounded to .252 and his OPS again surpassed the .700 mark. \u00a0Following the season, however, he was traded by the White Sox to the Expos for closer Bob James.<\/p>\n
