the mariners had given paciorek the chance to play everyday, and he responded with a career year in 1981.  he hit .326 with a career high 66 rbi and was flipped in a 3-for-1 deal with the white sox.  he hit .312 and .307 in 1982 and '83 respectively, before tailing off in '84.  after a slow start to the 1985 season, the white sox sent paciorek to the mets and he finished his career with two seasons in texas after that.
