Notes:
After a steady start to his big league career, Richard Dotson put it all together in his fourth season. He went 22-7 for the 1983 White Sox, helping to lead them to the AL West title -- their first post-season appearance in 24 years. He pitched similarly well in 1984, appearing in the All-Star Game and posting a 3.59 ERA, though his record fell to 14-15. The back-to-back workhorse season of over 240 innings took a toll on his arm. He missed most of 1985 and wasn't quite the same when he returned. He's now the pitching coach for the White Sox AAA affiliate in Charlotte.
