lsalazar

Name: Luis Salazar

Rank: 97

Position: 3B/OF

Years With White Sox: 1985-1986

Luis Salazar came to the White Sox, along with Tim Lollar, Bill Long, and Ozzie Guillen, in the December 6, 1984 trade that sent LaMarr Hoyt to the Padres.  Salazar split time between third base and the outfield for the 1985 White Sox, posting a .245 average with 10 home runs and 45 RBIs.  His season came to a premature end when, on September 23, he tore his PCL against the Angels.

After off-season surgery, Salazar spent most of 1986 rehabbing his knee.  He was activated off the disabled list on August 8, but went back on the DL on the 16th, appearing in just 4 games.  That December, he was released by the White Sox.

Salazar’s numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:

BA At Bats Runs Hits RBI Walks Strike Outs Doubles Triples HR SB GIDP Errors Games
0.278 18 2 5 2 0 3 1 1 1 0 0 0 5
0.243 334 40 81 45 13 63 18 2 10 14 5 10 126
