From Paul Hoynes:

Minoso, who made a name for himself with the White Sox, spent parts of the 1948 and 1949 seasons in the minors with the Indians before making his big league debut. Minoso, a third baseman, was blocked in Cleveland by Ken Keltner and Al Rosen and was traded to the White Sox during the 1951 season. Minoso hit .326 (173-for-530) with 34 doubles, 14 triples, 10 homers and 31 steals for the Indians and Chicago that year to finish second in the voting for the AL Rookie of the Year and fourth in the MVP balloting.
