Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Juan Agosto<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a0102<\/p>\n

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

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a01981-1986<\/p>\n

Juan Agosto signed with the White Sox organization as a free agent on January 18, 1980. \u00a0He made his major league debut the following year, giving up 3 earned runs in 5 innings of relief work in the White Sox 9-5 loss to the Mariners at Comiskey Park on September 7. \u00a0He made one other appearance before the season came to an end.<\/p>\n

Agosto returned to Triple A for 1982, appearing in only 1 game for the big league club where he gave up 4 runs in only 2 innings of work. \u00a0The 1983 season again saw Agosto starting the year in Triple A, but he was recalled on June 2 to replace outfielder Rusty Kuntz and remained for the rest of the season. \u00a0He would appear in 39 games, picking up 7 saves and posting a 4.10 ERA as the White Sox earned their first post-season berth since 1959. \u00a0Agosto saw limited action during the ALCS, facing one Oriole batter for a perfect 1\/3 of an inning pitched.<\/p>\n

While the White Sox struggled to repeat their success of the previous season, 1984 was Agosto’s best as a member of the south siders. \u00a0In 49 appearances, he tied his career high with 7 saves, lowered his ERA to 3.09 and finished the year with a winning record. \u00a0On the negative side, he walked more batters than he struck out and gave up more hits than innings pitched.<\/p>\n

Things rebounded for the White Sox in 1985 and Juan Agosto continued to be a useful cog in the bullpen. \u00a0He lowered his WHIP to a career low, though his ERA jumped up to 3.58. \u00a0He got off to a slow start in 1986, giving up 4 earned runs in just under 5 innings pitched. \u00a0At the end of April, Agosto was traded to the Twins, along with Kurt Walker, for pitcher Pete Filson.<\/p>\n

Agosto\u2019s numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:<\/p>\n
