Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Esteban Loaiza<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a098<\/p>\n

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

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a02003-2004, 2008<\/p>\n

Esteban Loaiza signed with the White Sox as a free agent on January 24, 2003, with the hopes of shoring up the back end of the rotation. \u00a0He quickly became the ace of the staff, setting career highs in wins, ERA, innings pitched, and strike outs. \u00a0When the All Star Game made its way to US Cellular Field, he was selected as the starting pitcher for the American League. \u00a0By season’s end, he had tied Fernando Valenzuela’s single season win record by a Mexican-born pitcher with 21 and found himself finishing in second place for the AL Cy Young Award.<\/p>\n

Loaiza came back down to Earth somewhat in 2004, as his ERA jumped back up from 2.90 to 4.86. \u00a0He was selected to his second straight All Star team, but, later that month, he was traded to the Yankees for Jose Contreras and cash.<\/p>\n

Loaiza returned to the White Sox in 2008 after being cut by the Dodgers. \u00a0He signed on June 4, made 3 relief appearances, and spent 6 weeks on the disabled list before being released, ending his White Sox, and major league, career.<\/p>\n
