Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Eric King<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a0229<\/p>\n

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

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01989-1990<\/p>\n

Eric King came to the White Sox towards the end of spring training in 1989 in the trade that sent future GM Kenny Williams to the Tigers. \u00a0King joined the rotation and pitched well, starting 25 games and finishing with a 9-10 record and a 3.39 ERA for a White Sox team that finished 29 games out of first place.<\/p>\n

In 1990, the final season at old Comiskey Park, King helped the White Sox achieve an epic turnaround from the year before, as the team improved their record by 25 wins. \u00a0His record improved to 12-4 in 25 starts and he finished the year with a career-low 3.28 ERA.<\/p>\n

Following the season, the White Sox packaged King with fellow pitcher Shawn Hillegas in a trade to the Indians that would bring slugger Cory Snyder to the south side.<\/p>\n
