\"kipwells\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Kip Wells<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong> 116<\/p>\n

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

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01999-2001<\/p>\n

Kip Wells joined the White Sox organization as the 16th overall pick of the 1998 draft. \u00a0After splitting most of the 1999 season between A and AA, he was called up to the White Sox to make his major league debut August 2nd against the Tigers in Detroit. \u00a0In a game I just so happened to attend, he earned his first major league win, going 5 1\/3 innings in the Sox 6-2 victory. \u00a0He started 6 more games for the White Sox, winning 3 of them and finishing with a respectable, if unspectacular, 4.04.<\/p>\n

2000 again saw Wells splitting time between the minor leagues and the big leagues. \u00a0As the White Sox ran away and hid with the AL Central crown, Wells started 20 games, struggling through most of them. \u00a0He finished with less than 100 innings pitched, which averages out to less than 5 innings per start, and an ERA over 6. \u00a0While the White Sox battled the Mariners in the ALDS, he did not see any post-season action.<\/p>\n

Wells again spent most of 2001 in Chicago, though he split time between the bullpen and the rotation. \u00a0He again started 20 games, but also appeared in another 20 in relief. \u00a0He did manage to win 10 games for the first time in his career, but finished with a losing record for the second straight year, despite lowering his ERA by 1 and a quarter runs. \u00a0That December, he was packaged with fellow pitchers Josh Fogg and Sean Lowe in a trade to the Pirates for Todd Ritchie.<\/p>\n

Wells rejoined the White Sox organization on a minor league deal in April of 2012, but he was released 10 days later.<\/p>\n

Wells\u2019\u00a0numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:<\/p>\n
