Position<\/strong>: 1B<\/p>\n

Year With White Sox<\/strong>: 1997<\/p>\n

Mario Valdez was selected in the 48th round of the 1993 draft and got his chance to move to the big leagues in 1997 when Frank Thomas went down with an injury. \u00a0Once Thomas returned, Valdez stuck with club, becoming a late inning defensive replacement and manning first base when Thomas would DH.<\/p>\n

The following spring, Valdez was sent back to the minor leagues after new manager Jerry Manuel felt he had been rushed up by the prior administration. \u00a0Unfortunately, he never returned to the major leagues with the White Sox, and at the end of September in 1999, he was selected off waivers by the Twins.<\/p>\n
