We've finally made it out of the infield and this week will be voting on our All-Time outfielders.  Robin Ventura ran away with the last vote, so our current roster is as such: DH-Frank Thomas, C-Carlton Fisk, 1B-Paul Konerko, 2B-Nellie Fox, SS-Luke Appling, and now 3B-Robin Ventura.  After we have the position players finished, I'm going to make a topic in which everyone can propose batting orders.  Then we'll move on to pitchers and the manager.  Neat.  So we have five choices for left fielder today, and I decided Albert Belle won't be in the running.  Yeah he beasted in 98, and 97 was still good but he doesn't get the Dick Allen exception.  Deal with it KenWo.  On to the picks:

 Joe Jackson

Shoeless Joe may have very well been a Hall of Famer.  The Sox got him from Cleveland during the 1915 season.  All he did from then til 1920 was rake.  And get involved in the Black Sox scandal.  Jackson was one of the eight players implicated and ultimately banned for life.  Seems like bullshit to me, but all I have are his numbers from that series(.375/.394/.563), you'd have to ask WU if it looked like he was throwing it.  Oh well.  He ranks first in franchise history in batting average, second in on-base, third in ops, and second in ops+.  His numbers: 648 games, 396 runs, 829 hits, 139 doubles, 79 triples, 30 homers, 426 RBI, 64 stolen bases, and a slash-line of .340/.407/.499/.906.

Bibb Falk

And onto his replacement, a man named Bibb.  Apparently Bibb was the old team's A.J., as he earned the nickname Jockey for his merciless riding of other teams.  Nifty.  And that's right, this is the man I picked over Albert Belle.  He was a league-average fielder.  He is fifth in franchise history in batting average.  Here are his numbers from his 9 seasons with the Sox: 908 games, 1220 hits, 526 runs, 245 doubles, 50 triples, 50 homers, 627 RBI, and a slash-line of .315/.345/.442/.787.

Minnie Miñoso

Minnie is probably the coolest old person ever.  Thanks to the great Bill Veeck, Minnie got to play major league baseball in five decades.  He was also the first black player to suit of for the Sox (1951).  His number 9 is retired and he has a statue out on the concourse.  In yet another show of Hall of Fame douchebaggery, Minnie still isn't in.  In 2005 when they made that committee to vote on Negro League players being inducted, Minnie was one of the few living players on the ballot.  He didn't make it.  Because baseball historians suck ass.  Apparently, Minnie is also a friendly enough guy that he went to Ernie Banks' statue unveiling on the other side of town.  Also, seven time All-Star.  Minnie ranks fifth in franchise history in OBP, RBI, walks, and runs.  He ranks sixth in OPS and triples.  He's fourth in OPS+, and ranks first in HBP and power/speed number.  Here are his numbers: 1,117 games, 1434 hits, 258 doubles, 78 triples, 134 homers, 802 RBI, 197 stolen bases, and a slash-line of .305/.397/.468/.865.

Tim Raines

Meet Rock.  He played left for five seasons and then went on to first base and bench coach for us.  He's yet another White Sox left fielder being fucked over by the Hall of Fame (yeah he wouldn't go in as one of us, but he should be in).  Anyways, here's his numbers: 566 games, 130 stolen bases, 628 hits, 84 doubles, 24 triples, 44 homers, 253 RBI, and a slash-line of .283/.373/.402/.775.  Steve Phillips just said Raines shouldn't make the HoF because Brian Giles had a better OBP and is not a HoFer.  He then proceeded to say Dawson should be.  My brain just exploded.

Carlos Lee

El Caballo went yard in his first at-bat in the majors.  He would continue to do so, ending up eighth in franchise history in home runs.  Carlos was traded for the almighty duo of Scott Podsednik and Luis Vizcaino.  Carlos was fun to watch and murderized the Cubs.  Here are his numbers: 821 games, 904 hits, 183 doubles, 141 homers, 506 RBI, and a slash-line of .288/.341/.487/.828.
