| Player Notes |
| December 19, 2005 A.J. Pierzynski and the White Sox agreed to a three-year, $15 million contract to avoid arbitration, according to the AP. Pierzynski, who batted .256 with 18 home runs and 56 RBI last season, will earn $4 million next season and $5.5 million each in 2007 and 2008. |
| September 23, 2005 White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen tried to shake his slumping offense on Friday by moving A.J. Pierzynski to third in the batting order and dropping struggling Carl Everett down to sixth, according to the AP. Pierzynski went 0-for-4. |
| September 6, 2005 A.J. Pierzynski will return to the lineup on Wednesday after missing the last two games for the birth of his first child, according to the AP. |
| September 5, 2005 A.J. Pierzynski will not be with the White Sox in Boston today, because his pregnant wife is due to go into labor soon, according to the Daily Southtown. |
| September 4, 2005 A.J. Pierzynski will not play in Monday's makeup game because his wife is expecting a baby, according to the AP. |
| August 9, 2005 A.J. Pierzynski hit in the third spot for the first time in his career Monday, according to the Chicago Tribune. "The way he's swinging now, I want to take advantage," said White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen. Pierzynski is in the midst of an 18-for-37 spurt, though he went 1-for-4 on Monday. |
| May 7, 2005 Since A.J. Pierzynski has a career batting average of .077 against the Blue Jays and the Jays have two left-handed starters going to the mound this weekend, Pierzynski may get Saturday and Sunday off, according to the Daily Southtown. |
| April 28, 2005 A.J. Pierzynski returned to the White Sox' lineup on Wednesday after missing three games with an injured big toe. He was 0-for-2 with two walks. |
| April 27, 2005 White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said A.J. Pierzynski was healthy enough to play last night, but was held out as a precaution, adding that Chris Widger has hit well enough to remain in the lineup, according to the Chicago Tribune. Pierzynski has been sidelined with an injured right big toe. |
| April 26, 2005 A.J. Pierzynski didn't start for the second straight game on Monday after injuring his right big toe, according to the Chicago Tribune. Pierzynski had three holes drilled into his toenail to relieve pressure. |
| April 17, 2005 A.J. Pierzynski got a routine day off yesterday but should be back in the starting lineup today, according to the Daily Southtown. |
| April 7, 2005 White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen switched A.J. Pierzynski and Aaron Rowand on Wednesday so that Pierzynksi hit seventh and Rowand sixth. The Chicago Tribune reports that Guillen may stick with this lineup as he likes the left-handed Pierzynski batting behind Rowand to take advantage of Rowand's speed in hit-and-run opportunities. |
| April 3, 2005 White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen indicated that A.J. Pierzynski would bat sixth this year, ahead of Aaron Rowand, according to the Chicago Tribune. That could change when the Sox face left-handed starters. |
| January 6, 2005 A.J. Pierzynski signed a one-year deal with the White Sox on Thursday. He hit .272 with 11 home runs and 77 RBI for the Giants last season. |
| January 1, 2005 The White Sox have offered A.J. Pierzynski a contract after he was released by the Giants last month, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Pierzynski hit .272 with 11 home runs and 77 RBI in 131 games with the Giants last season but has developed a reputation for being selfish. "Who among us doesn't deserve a second chance?" White Sox GM Ken Williams said. |
