Ozzie Guillen likes his regulars. Not only did he use his starting pitchers for all but two-thirds of an inning in the ALCS, he used just one bench position player the entire series, Pablo Ozuna (solely as a pinch-hitter in two games).

That's 15 players in total in the entire series. Tony LaRussa would be appalled.

That's the least in any postseason series since the 1913 A's used 15 in the World Series. That's the least in any postseason series since the A's used 15 in the 1913 World Series.

Also, there has been only one instance postseason history in which a team used than the ten offensive players that the Sox used in the ALCS. That was in a nineteenth-century World Championship.

Here are the teams that used the least offensive players in a playoff series:

So even though the Sox got a lot of press because of the four consecutive complete games by their pitchers, Guillen was even more frugal with his offensive players on the bench. There have been 25 instances in which a team used fewer pitchers in a playoff series:

Here are the teams that used fifteen or fewer players in a postseason series:

By the way, don't worry about the Sox duplicating the feat in the World Series. They came into tonight's game with only 15 players used, but with the game currently in the eleventh, they have made up for it tonight.
