\"billlong\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Bill Long<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a0299<\/p>\n

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

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01985, 1987-1990<\/p>\n

Bill Long was acquired by the White Sox along with Ozzie Guillen, Tim Lollar, and Luis Salazar from the Padres in exchange for LaMarr Hoyt in December of 1984. \u00a0Long made his major league debut that July against the Indians, going 5 innings and getting a no decision in the White Sox loss. \u00a0Long finished the year with a disappointing 10.29 ERA in 4 games with the big league club.<\/p>\n

That performance helped keep Long at Triple A for the entire 1986 season, but he bounced back in 1987, making 23 starts for a White Sox team that finished in 5th place. \u00a01988 saw Long spend more time in the bullpen, finishing the season with a career high in appearances. \u00a0The next year was even better, as Long put up\u00a0a career best 3.92 ERA in only 30 games.<\/p>\n

April of 1990 saw Long appear in 4 games, giving up 5 runs in less than 6 innings before GM Larry Himes decided it was time for Long to move on. \u00a0As the month drew to a close, Long was traded across town to the Cubs in exchange for a minor league pitcher.<\/p>\n

Long\u2019s numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:<\/p>\n
