Brent Morel joined the White Sox organization as their third round selection of the 2008 draft. \u00a0He made his major league debut a little over 2 years later on September 7, 2010, appearing as a pinch hitter against the Tigers in a 9-1 White Sox loss. \u00a0A few days later, he hit a home run for his first major league hit against Bruce Chen and the Royals. \u00a0He finished the year with a .231 average in 21 games.<\/p>\n

Morel spent the entire 2011 season with the White Sox, earning the starting third baseman job. \u00a0He boosted his average to .245 and appeared in a career high 126 games. \u00a0Unfortunately, this was the high point of his career.<\/p>\n

2012 saw Morel battling injuries which affected him at the plate, as his average plummeted to .177 in only 35 games. \u00a0In 2013, Morel was back in Triple A for most of the year, getting into only 12 games for the White Sox. \u00a0Following the season, Morel was selected off waivers by the Blue Jays, ending his White Sox career.<\/p>\n
