Whiten was born in Pensacola, Florida. He was selected by Toronto in the 1986 amateur draft and made his major league debut in the '90 season. Whiten was a typical up-and-down player. He had one of the best outfield arms in the 1990s. He hit for power too, but his mental lapses hurt him in the field and at the plate. The Blue Jays had little patience with his development and sent him to Cleveland. After two seasons with the Indians he was sent to the Cardinals.

Whiten suffered through pulled rib-cage muscles early at the 1994 season that limited him to play in 92 games, at which point his career began to fade. A 1994 collision with Philadelphia catcher Wilson McCutchan proved his undoing, as Whiten spent three months on the disabled list. Over the following six seasons, he played for six teams, including a second stint with Cleveland.
In his 11-year major league career, Whiten had a .259 batting average, with 105 home runs, 423 RBIs, 465 runs scored, 804 hits, 129 doubles, 20 triples, and 70 stolen bases in 939 games. He resumed his playing career with the Long Island Ducks in the Atlantic League.
