\"sportsWhiteSox_t440\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong> Jeff Liefer<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong> 306<\/p>\n

Position:\u00a0<\/strong>OF\/1B<\/p>\n

Years With White Sox:<\/strong> 1999-2002<\/p>\n

Jeff Liefer was the 25th overall pick in the 1995 draft and signed with the White Sox in August. \u00a0He worked his way through the system, finally making his major league debut on April 7, 1999, going 2-4 in a loss to the Mariners. \u00a0Liefer would go on to split the year between Chicago and Charlotte.<\/p>\n

During the 2000 season, which saw the White Sox take home the Central Division title, Liefer spent the majority of the year tearing up Triple A, appearing in only 5 games in the big leagues. \u00a0He got another chance in 2001, appearing in 83 games and mashing 18 home runs. \u00a0He managed to get in to 76 games in 2002, but his production dropped drastically, with only 7 home runs and a 20 point dip in his average.<\/p>\n

Following the 2002 season, Liefer was packaged along with\u00a0Antonio Osuna, Rocky Biddle, and two minor leaguers in a three-way trade that sent Orlando Hernandez from the Yankees to the Expos and brought Bartolo Colon from Montreal to the South Side.<\/p>\n

Liefer rejoined the White Sox organization in 2008 after signing a minor league deal. \u00a0He appeared in 40 games at Charlotte before deciding to hang it up and retire.<\/p>\n
