\"\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong> Damaso Marte<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong> 193<\/p>\n

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

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a02002-2005<\/p>\n

Damaso Marte was acquired by the White Sox from the Pirates towards the end of spring training in 2002 in exchange for Matt Guerrier. \u00a0The trade quickly paid dividends, as Marte became on of the most reliable arms in the White Sox bullpen during the 2002 season. \u00a0He compiled a 2.83 ERA in 68 games, converting 10 saves in the process.<\/p>\n

In 2003, Marte was even more successful. \u00a0He lowered his ERA by over a run and saved 11 games in 71 appearances. \u00a02004 started a slight decline for Marte, as his ERA jumped nearly 2 full runs. \u00a0He appeared in 74 games, but his innings pitched dropped from the year before.<\/p>\n

Marte’s fortunes fell a little more in 2005, as he took on a new role in the bullpen. \u00a0While the White Sox held on to first place in the AL Central, Marte’s ERA rose again, while he put up his lowest totals in a White Sox uniform in games, saves, and innings pitched.<\/p>\n

His most famous moment in a White Sox uniform, and perhaps his lowest, was his appearance in game 3 of the 2005 ALDS against the Red Sox. \u00a0After Freddy Garcia gave up a leadoff home run to Manny Ramirez in the bottom of the 6th to cut the White Sox lead to 1 run, Marte came in to replace him. \u00a0He gave up a single to Trot Nixon and then walked the next two batters before being replaced by Orlando Hernandez, leaving him the bases loaded and nobody out.<\/p>\n

That likely would have been his final appearance with the White Sox, had game 3 of the World Series not gone 14 innings. \u00a0Marte entered the game in the bottom of the 13th, becoming the 8th pitcher of the evening for the White Sox. \u00a0He got through the 13th relatively unscathed, but ran in to some issues in the 14th, thanks to a walk and an error. \u00a0He was replaced by Mark Buehrle, who got the final out, giving Marte the win.<\/p>\n

With the cleanup of the ticker tape parade barely completed, the White Sox shipped Damaso Marte out of town, sending him back to the Pirates in exchange for Rob Mackowiak.<\/p>\n

Marte’s\u00a0numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:<\/p>\n
