\"\"<\/a>Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Warren Newson<\/p>\n

Rank:<\/strong>\u00a050<\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong>\u00a0RF\/LF<\/p>\n

Years With White Sox:<\/strong> 1991-1995<\/p>\n

Warren Newson was acquired by the White Sox from the Padres, along with Joey Cora, for Adam Peterson and Steve Rosenberg on March 31, 1991. \u00a0After starting the year in Triple A and putting up an OBP over .500, Newson made his major league debut on May 29, pinch hitting for Sammy Sosa in the 8-4 loss to the Angels at the new Comiskey Park. \u00a0Despite hitting .295 for the season with a .843 OPS, Newson was limited to only 132 at bats.<\/p>\n

Newson returned to the bench for the 1992 season, getting an extended look when Dan Pasqua went down with an injury in June. \u00a0Newson hit .286 with a .756 OPS during Pasqua’s absence, but was relegated back to the bench when Pasqua returned, despite his superior stats. \u00a0For the year, Newson hit a disappointing .221, but still managed a .387 OBP.<\/p>\n

1993 was a difficult season for Newson. \u00a0While the White Sox were putting together their first divisional title in a decade, Newson missed months to look after his wife following a life-threatening car accident. \u00a0He only appeared in 26 games during the regular season, getting only 40 at bats. \u00a0He did manage to hit .300 with an .879 OPS. \u00a0Newson went 1-5 with a home run in 2 appearances during the ALCS against the Blue Jays.<\/p>\n

Newson returned to the White Sox full time in 1994, but again was relegated to backup and pinch hitting duties. \u00a0He appeared in 63 games before the season was cut short due to the strike. \u00a0Newson finished the shortened year hitting .255 with a .345 OBP in 102 at bats.<\/p>\n

When baseball resumed in 1995, Newson’s average suffered, dropping to .235, but his OBP was a very healthy .404. \u00a0Despite this, he only managed 85 at bats in 51 games. \u00a0On July 18, he was traded to the Mariners for a player to be named later, who eventually became Jeff Darwin.<\/p>\n
