\"melidoperez\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Melido Perez<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a092<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong>\u00a0P<\/p>\n

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01988-1991<\/p>\n

Melido Perez joined the White Sox organization on December 10, 1987 when he was acquired, along with Chuck Mount, John Davis, and Greg Hibbard, from the Royals for Floyd Bannister and Dave Cochrane. \u00a0Perez broke camp with the White Sox in 1988, joining the starting rotation and starting 32 games. \u00a0He finished the year with a 12-10 record and a 3.79 ERA. \u00a0His year was good enough for a 6th place finish in Rookie of the Year voting<\/p>\n

Perez struggled in 1989, along with the rest of the White Sox, as his ERA ballooned up to 5.01 and his record fell to 11-14.<\/p>\n

Perez was earned the opening day start for the White Sox in 1990, but his struggles continued as a much improved White Sox squad battled for the Western Division title. \u00a0The highlight of his year came on July 12, when he threw a rain-shortened no hitter against the Yankees. \u00a0He finished the year with a 13-14 record with a 4.61 ERA as the White Sox finished 9 games behind the eventual AL champion Oakland A’s.<\/p>\n

With expectations raised after a 94 win season, Perez found himself left out of the starting rotation for the first time. \u00a0The change seemed to have agreed with him, as his ERA dropped to 3.12 and he set a career low in WHIP.<\/p>\n

The following January, Perez was packaged, along with Domingo Jean and Bob Wickman, in a trade to the Yankees for Steve Sax.<\/p>\n
