Eddie Stanky was the manager of the Sox when Hoyt, Tommy John, and Wilber Wood and one other I cant think of were the big pitchers I belive the other good pitcher was Gary Peters.

That was after Peters when Stanky was manager. Al Lopez was manager in '63 and '64 when the White Sox were starting Peters, Juan Pizarro, John Buzhardt, Joel Horlen, and sometimes, Ray Herbert. And these guys all hit better than the position players.
The other main reliever besides Hoyt Wilhelm was Don Mossi who came over from Cleveland. He's the guy with the ears that Jim Bouton described as looking like "a taxi coming down the street with all of its doors open."

Wilber Wood...
To my knowledge, Wilbur Wood is the only pitcher in major league history to be a 20-game winner and a 20-game loser in the same season (he did it with the 1973 White Sox).
