Good morning!
With Dylan Cease potentially on the move, the White Sox would lose the franchise's active starting pitcher with the most starts (123). Of course, if the front office were to follow the Sox Machine Offseason Plan Project, Lucas Giolito would re-enter the fold and resume his march toward the top of the starting pitcher leaderboard. Giolito has the sixth-most starts over this time period and would comfortably be in fourth place by season's end.
Today’s Sporcle, of course, isn’t just about the White Sox start leaders, but any pitcher who started at least one game for the team since 2000. In all that’s 108 names. How many can you get? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- I’ve allotted the full 25 minutes for completion attempts.
- For hints, I’ve provided the number of starts and the tenure of the pitcher in question. If they returned to the team over separate stints, that is not reflected in the tenure.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- One pitcher leads this list in complete games with 27, while the next-closest is 14, followed by 9.
- That same pitcher, if you take his entire career, has 33 CGs. That’s fourth-most during this period behind C.C. Sabathia (38), Livan Hernandez (39), and Roy Halladay (65!).
- These 108 pitchers have combined for 46 saves in their career (not including a particularly famous postseason save)
