Pitcher Andrew Sisco was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the second round of the 2001 amateur draft. After the 2004 season, he was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the Rule V Draft. Despite never playing above Class A, he made the Royals Opening Day roster in 2005 and remained a part of their bullpen for the entire season, going 2-5 with a 3.11 ERA. However, he struggled in 2006, posting a 7.10 ERA in 65 games, and was traded to the Chicago White Sox for Ross Gload following the season.

In 2007, Sisco made the Sox Opening Day roster as a part of the team's bullpen. However, he struggled, going 0-1 with an 8.36 ERA in 19 games in April and May. He spent the remainder of the year with the AAA Charlotte Knights, where he went 3-6 with a 4.35 ERA while primarily a member of the club's starting rotation.
