\"Floyd-Bannister-02\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Floyd Bannister<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a084<\/p>\n

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

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01983-1987<\/p>\n

Floyd Bannister signed with the White Sox as a free agent on December 13, 1982, much to the chagrin of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who was not used to losing out on free agents that he was interested in.\u00a0 The signing quickly paid dividends for the White Sox and Bannister, who won a career high 16 games as the White Sox ran away with the AL West crown, earning their first post-season berth since 1959.\u00a0 Bannister started and lost game 2 of the ALCS, going 6 innings and giving up all 4 runs in the White Sox 4-0 loss to the Orioles.<\/p>\n

Bannister, and the White Sox, faltered somewhat in 1984, with his ERA jumping up to 4.83.\u00a0 1985 was more of the same, with an ERA at 4.87 and finishing with a losing record of 10-14.\u00a0 Bannister rebounded in 1986, posting a 3.54 ERA in 28 starts despite finishing the year with the same 10-14 record.\u00a0 Bannister tied his career high with 16 wins in 1987, finishing the year with a 3.58 ERA.\u00a0 Following the season, with the White Sox in full rebuilding mode, Bannister and Dave Cochrane were traded to the Royals for Greg Hibbard, Melido Perez, John Davis, and Chuck Mount.<\/p>\n
