\"deaza\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Alejandro de Aza<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a095<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong>\u00a0CF\/LF<\/p>\n

Years With White Sox:<\/strong>\u00a02010-2014<\/p>\n

Following the 2009 season, Alejandro de Aza was claimed off waivers from the Marlins by the White Sox. \u00a0He spent most of the 2010 season in Charlotte, getting only 30 at bats with the White Sox, but putting up a .300 average in his limited opportunities.<\/p>\n

2011 saw de Aza again splitting time between Charlotte and Chicago, and he continued to impress in the big leagues. \u00a0He appeared in 54 games for the White Sox, hitting .329 with an impressive .900 OPS.<\/p>\n

de Aza broke in to the starting lineup in 2012, becoming the main center fielder for the White Sox. \u00a0His production fell off somewhat in the full time role, but he still managed to hit .281 with a .760 OPS. \u00a0He added a career high 26 stolen bases.<\/p>\n

2013 saw de Aza set career highs in games played, at bats, hits, home runs, and RBIs. \u00a0But his average again dropped, now to .264, as the White Sox ended the year with their worst record since 1970.<\/p>\n

2014 started with de Aza relegated to a back up role, thanks to the acquisition of Adam Eaton, but an early injury to Avisail Garcia thrust him back to the starting lineup. \u00a0His average dropped again, to .243, and his OPS fell under .700 for the first time with the White Sox. \u00a0At the end of August, with the White Sox again out of contention, de Aza was traded to the Orioles for 2 unheralded minor leaguers.<\/p>\n
