"Bullet" [Bob James] would come of age in 1985, with 32 saves and a 2.13 ERA. He'd remain with the team through 1987, but was never the same after a knee injury in Baltimore in July 1985.
The next step in Rick Hahn's rebuild came as a heist of the Washington Nationals. The GM sold high on Adam Eaton, restocking the pitching coffers with Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo López and Dane Dunning.
Dick Allen, the 1972 American League MVP who was credited by some (including White Sox GM Roland Hemond) as being the man who saved the franchise, died at the age of 78.
