Jose Abreu and Alexei Ramirez earned Silver Slugger awards on Thursday night, becoming the fourth pair of White Sox players to do so.

This is a well deserved honor for both players, as they did a very good job of helping the White Sox improve this season, even if the overall results didn’t show up much in the standings.

In a press release by the White Sox it says of the All-Star duo:

"“They are the first Cuban-born teammates to win the award in the same season and join Jose Canseco (four times) and Rafael Palmeiro (twice) as the only native Cubans to be named Silver Sluggers.”"

The release also said Abreu is the first rookie in the history of the White Sox to win the award, which is voted on by managers and coaches of MLB.

Now a look at the stats of the White Sox duo.

Abreu, who was in the Top 5 Triple Crown categories, finished with a team-best .317 batting average, that included 36 home runs. Of his 176 hits, 35 were doubles. He also tallied 107 RBIs and led the majors with a .581 slugging percentage.
