Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022/23 revision of our top 50 Chicago White Sox.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in Major League Baseball.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the White Sox did not make the playoffs, and we had no new entrants.  For the first time ever, the only change was lowering a player based on the past year!

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Frank Thomas

2. Ed Walsh

3. Luke Appling

4. Ted Lyons

5. Red Faber

You can find the entire list here.

The only change was a first for us.  Tim Anderson had such a bad season, that he dropped from #43 to #48.  We have dropped players one spot before, this is unprecedented, especially for a team with as long as a history as the White Sox.

We thank you for your continued support for our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Current White Sox star, Jose Abreu, climbed to #20 from #17.

Shortstop, Tim Anderson, debuts at #50.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

One of the most enigmatic players in White Sox history, Tim Anderson was at one time the heart of the team.

Anderson was a First Round Pick (17^th Overall) in 2013, and it only took him three seasons to become a starting Shortstop for the team.  Finishing seventh in Rookie of the Year voting in 2016, Anderson showcased the five tools since his callup, winning the Batting Title in 2019 (.335), and double digits in Home Runs five years in a row (2017-21) with All-Star nods in 2021 & 2022.

Unfortunatly, Anderson an abysmal 2023, where he had a negative 2.0 bWAR, had a Slash Line of .245/.286/.296m which placed him dead last in Slugging, OPS (.582) and got knocked out ny Jse Ramirez.  The White Sox declined his option, and we dropped him five spots from his previous rank, the first time we ever had to do so.

Anderson leaves Chicago with 1,021 Hits, 1,021 Runs and 98 Home Runs.
