Chicago White Sox All-Time Lineup

1908: 40-15, 1.42 ERA, 464 IP, 343 H, 11 shutouts, 269 Ks, 0.860 WHIP

Rest of the rotation: Wilbur Wood (1971, 22-13, 1.91 ERA, 334 IP, 272 H, 210 Ks, 1.000 WHIP), Eddie Cicotte (1917, 28-12, 1.53 ERA, 346.2 IP, 246 H, 150 Ks, 0.912 WHIP), Early Wynn (1959, 22-10, 3.17 ERA, 255.2 IP, 202 H, 1.256 WHIP), Joe Horlen (1967, 19-7, 2.06 ERA, 258 IP, 188 H, 103 Ks, 0.953 WHIP)

The White Sox's modern history has a few aces, but few that are in the league of earlier generations. Walsh, a Hall of Famer, holds the record for the lowest ERA all-time at 1.82, and he won 195 games in his 14-year career. Wood is one of the best kuncleballers of all-time, and he was a three-time All-Star. Cicotte is best known as an infamous figure, but he was a pitcher on a Hall of Fame track until he agreed to fix the 1919 World Series in the worst scandal in baseball history. Wynn is also in the Hall of Fame, and won the Cy Young in 1959. And Horlen led the AL in ERA and finished second in Cy Young voting in his best season in 1967.

1983: .289, 26 HR, 86 RBI, .874 OPS

Backup: Sherm Lollar (1958, .273, 20 HR, 84 RBI, .821 OPS)

Fisk is probably better known as a Red Sox star -- and he's in the Boston all-time lineup as well - but he actually played one more season in Chicago, catching well into his 40s. He was 35 when he had his best season in Chicago. His backup caught even more games for the White Sox and was a nine-time All-Star in Lollar.

1994: .353, 38 HR, 101 RBI, 1.217 OPS

Backup: Dick Allen (1972, .308, 37 HR, 113 RBI, 1.023 OPS)

Frank Thomas could be at DH on this team as well, but he had his best season in the strike-shortened year of 1994, hitting 38 homers and driving in 101 runs in 113 games. He won the AL MVP, his second in a row. The backup is Allen, who also won the MVP in his best season in 1972.

1920: .372, 3 HR, 76 RBI, 20 SB, .932 OPS

Backup: Ray Durham (1998, .285, 19 HR, 67 RBI, 36 SB, ,818 OPS)

There's no doubt who the starter is, as Collins was a Hall of Fame second baseman for 12 years on the south side. He had 3,315 hits in his career and a lifetime batting average of .333. The backup hit for a little more power and also had speed in Durham, who was a two-time All-Star with the White Sox.

1936: .388, 6 HR, 128 RBI, .981 OPS

Backup: Luis Aparicio (1970, .313, 5 HR, 43 RBI, .776 OPS)

Appling is in the top five of shortstops all-time, and his .388 season in 1936 is the highest by a shortstop in baseball history. The backup is Aparicio, who also is in the Hall of Fame and was one of the greatest fielding shortstops ever.

1996: .287, 34 HR, 105 RBI, .888 OPS

Backup: Al Smith (1961, .278, 28 HR, 93 RBI, .854 OPS)

Not a great group of third basemen in team history, and the best was named the team's manager before the 2012 season in Ventura. Ventura won a Gold Glove in his best season in Chicago. The backup is Smith, who was a two-time All-Star.

1920: .382, 12 HR, 121 RBI, 1.033 OPS

Backup: Albert Belle (1998, .328, 49 HR, 152 RBI, 1.055 OPS)

These two are also on the Cleveland Indians' all-time lineup as left fielders, but in reverse order. Both had Hall of Fame talent. Jackson, implicated in the Black Sox scandal, actually had his best season in Chicago after the thrown World Series, but his career was over after 1920, banned forever. The backup is Belle, who came to the White Sox as a free agent whose career was over at age 33 by a hip condition. He played two years for Chicago.

2006: .315, 44 HR, 120 RBI, 1.006 OPS

Backup: Magglio Ordonez (2002, .320, 38 HR, 135 RBI, .978 OPS)

Two players from the 2000s had the best season s as right fielders in team history. Dye had a career year in 2006, when he finished fifth in MVP voting a year after helping lead the White Sox to a World Series title. His backup is the man Dye replaced as right fielder in Ordonez.

2006: .288, 42 HR, 109 RBI, 1.014 OPS

Backup: Oscar Gamble (1977, .297, 31 HR, 83 RBI, .974 OPS)

Thomas was incredibly productive at DH, but he's already at first base. So we'll go with Thome, who is also on the Indians' and Twins' all-time lineups, and had his best season in Chicago in his first year there. The backup is Gamble, who had two stints on the White Sox and bounced around between teams in the 1970s.

1990: 4-6, 1.83 ERA, 57 saves, 88.2 IP, 60 H, 70 Ks, 1.038 WHIP

Backup: Hoyt Wilhelm (1964, 12-9, 1.99 ERA, 27 saves, 131.1 IP, 94 H, 95 Ks, 0.944 WHIP)

Thigpen held the single-season saves record for 18 years, and was one of the top closers of the early 1990s with the White Sox. The backup is a Hall of Famer in Wilhelm.
