\"Tony+Pena\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Tony Pe\u00f1a<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a0244<\/p>\n

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

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a02009-2011<\/p>\n

Tony Pe\u00f1a, the pitcher, joined the White Sox via a July 7, 2009 trade that sent Brandon Allen to the Diamondbacks. \u00a0Pe\u00f1a was expected to bolster the bullpen for the remainder of 2009 and then take over Octavio Dotel’s role, who would be a free agent following the season. \u00a0Things started out well for\u00a0Pe\u00f1a, who put up a 3.75 ERA down the stretch for the White Sox, a half run better than he had done for the Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n

Things started to fall apart in 2010. \u00a0With Dotel gone,\u00a0Pe\u00f1a was slated to become the main workhorse out of the pen, but control issues limited him to 52 games, including 3 spot starts. \u00a0His ERA jumped to 5.10 as he was relegated to long relief and mop up duty.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, 2011 was not any better for Pe\u00f1a. \u00a0His ERA jumped up to 6.10 as he made 17 relief appearances over the season’s first two months. \u00a0On May 29, he was placed on the disabled list with right elbow tendinitis, which is where he would spend the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

He was released by the White Sox following the season, and he would never pitch in the major leagues again.<\/p>\n

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