\"jim-kern\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong> Jim Kern<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong> 270<\/p>\n

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

Years With White Sox:<\/strong> 1982-1983<\/p>\n

Jim Kern joined the White Sox in a August 1982 trade with the Reds in exchange for Wade Rowdon and Leo Garcia.\u00a0 He did not pitch particularly well for the South Siders down the stretch, putting up a 5.14 ERA in 13 games.<\/p>\n

He was expected back in the bullpen in 1983, but he blew out his elbow after appearing in the second game of the season, leaving him out for the year.\u00a0 The following spring, he was released towards the end of spring training, ending his brief time with the White Sox.\u00a0 Kern, however, was not willing to leave quietly.<\/p>\n

After begging then General Manager Roland Hemond to send him to Triple A prior to his release, Kern accussed the team of “destroying my arm and then shucking me off like last year’s shotgun shells.”\u00a0 Hemond claimed it was a business decision, as the team saved nearly $300,000 by releasing Kern.<\/p>\n
