Finally, the last group of White Sox players from 1983 – 2011 that I had never heard of.

Rank: 393
Position: P
Year With White Sox: 1988
Manzanillo started 2 games for the ’88 Sox .
Name: Bill Pulsipher
Rank: 392
Position: P
Year With White Sox: 2001

Name: Dave Wehrmeister
Rank: 391
Position: P
Year With White Sox: 1985

Name: Doug Lindsey
Rank: 390
Position: C
Year With White Sox: 1993

Name: Mike Dunne
Rank: 389
Position: P
Year With White Sox: 1992
Dunne wrapped up his career after going 2-0 for the ’92 squad.
After playing alongside Ozzie Guillen on the left side of the White Sox infield for years, Robin Ventura now follows him in the dugout as skipper, starting with today’s contest against the defending American League champion Rangers. Here’s a look at the roster with which he’ll be starting the 162 game grind.
John Danks, Jake Peavy, Gavin Floyd, Chris Sale, Phil Humber
With Mark Buehrle gone, John Danks moves up to the top of the rotation, getting his first Opening Day start today. Peavy looks to have his first injury-free season on the south side. Chris Sale attempts to move from the bullpen to the rotation and fulfill the promise he showed in college. Humber was a surprise success last season and hopefully can continue that success.
Matt Thornton, Jesse Crain, Will Ohman, Addison Reed, Hector Santiago, Zach Stewart, Nate Jones
Our penultimate look at the White Sox players I’ve forgotten or never knew existed in the first place.
Name: Felix Diaz
Rank: 403

Acquired from the Pirates for Gary Redus, Diaz last appeared in the majors with the ’88 squad. His greater claim to fame locally may be as part of the package the Cubs sent to the Phillies prior to the ’84 season that brought them Gary Matthews and Bob Dernier.

Johnson managed 14 appearances before the premature end of the ’94 season.
Thursday was the day I wait all winter for, when my White Sox season ticket pacakage arrives in the mail. Let’s take a look at what was inside.
First things fist, we have the nice looking box that contains the tickets, the parking passes, and other material, both service and promotional. It may not seem like a big thing, but the box does come in handy in keeping everything together and making it easier to keep track of the tickets. I’ve already put the single game tickets I picked up earlier in there, along with my “collection” of designated driver free soft drink coupons. Now, let’s look inside the box and see what is different this year.
Almost to the end of the unknown players.
