\"\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Tim Raines<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a028<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong>\u00a0LF<\/p>\n

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01991-1995<\/p>\n

Acquired in December of 1990 from the Expos, along with Jeff Carter and a player to be named later, for Ivan Calderon and Barry Jones, Tim Raines took over left field, and the lead off spot, as the White Sox moved in to the new Comiskey Park.\u00a0 At the age of 31, Raines appeared in 155 games, his highest total since 1984, while hitting .268 with 51 stolen bases.<\/p>\n

In 1992, Raines had another strong season, putting up a .294 average with 7 home runs, 54 RBIs, and 45 stolen bases.<\/p>\n

Limited to 115 games in 1993 due to a torn thumb ligament, Raines had the best season of his post-Expos career, hitting .306 and posting a .401 OBP, adding 16 home runs and 21 stolen bases.\u00a0 During the ALCS against the Blue Jays, Raines hit .444 with an OPS of 1.038 as the White Sox dropped the series in 6 games.<\/p>\n

Raines saw his production drop off a bit in 1994, his average dropping to .266 but with 10 home runs when the season ended early due to the player’s strike.\u00a0 When baseball returned in 1995, so did Raines.\u00a0 He bounced back with a .285 average and a .796 OPS, his second highest total as a member of the White Sox.\u00a0 Following the season, Raines was traded to the Yankees for an unheralded player to be named later.<\/p>\n

Raines rejoined the White Sox organization in November of 2004 when he was named the first base coach, a position he would hold for the championship season in 2005. \u00a0For 2006, he was moved to bench coach and, after the season, his services were not retained.<\/p>\n
