Chisoxfn Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Wow. Great news...presuming of course he is healthy and risk for reinjury / non 100% recovery is non-existent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 What are restrictions for AFL? He's young enough where we might want to send him there to work on a few things to make up for the missed time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the current trajectory of this team, hopefully there are some DH at bats for him somewhere or he can just statue out in RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Goodbye, DeAza...nice knowing you. Or Dunn. Whatever. Â It would be better to see him limited to DH duties, imo, although they'd have to talk to Paulie....Konerko's wishes shouldn't get in the way of preparing Avisail to hit the ground running in 2015. Â Unless you're Victor Martinez, and even then it took him 1/2 season plus...it's important to maintain your timing as a hitter, so not losing the entire season is amazing news. Â Wonder if they plan on letting him play "unsupervised" in Venezuela for winter ball? Edited July 7, 2014 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't wanna be a full time player.  There's sure to be a hole or 2 opening up for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It will probably take him a while to be ready to play then a rehab assignment and then the majors. September 1 the rosters expand if they haven't sent anyone packing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'd imagine they're looking to trade De Aza and/or Viciedo to make room for Garcia, assuming they want him back in the majors. If there are no takers I would love a platoon, with Garcia taking over RF (maybe LF when Tank plays). Â I'm worried about him re-injuring himself though, and ruining his career. I suppose the Sox doctors know better than me, but still. One of the highlights of the next couple seasons for me is watching Garcia grow.
