I hope he does, then I hope Hahn turns around and moves him ala Kris Davis as his personal window doesn't match up with the future core even with his age.

Agreed. He has what, 3 years control left? Unless he wants an extension, I'd probably just sell high on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he does, then we move to extend him for 5 years because a late 20s hitter with 30+ HR/season power at a corner OF spot would be an absolutely ideal piece to have hitting 5th with guys like Moncada, Anderson, Collins, and Meadows in the top 4 in the lineup. Put the dynamic guys on base and then there's a guy to drive them in right at his peak production years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he delivers and isn't then he gawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he doesn't sign an extension by next off-season after having a great year, I'd probably sell high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I bet all of Greg's houses that Avi doesn't have a break out year. At this point I wont even say that I hope I'm wrong because Avi isn't having a break out year, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally I would agree with this, but either way we're eventually going to need an RBI producer or two, so if he isn't one then we're gonna have to create one somehow.

I think the odds are great that at least one or two players emerge in the midst of the mess that next year is going to be as a surprise player. He might be one of them, who the hell knows.

WBWSF Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Rumor has it that the White Sox are trying to sign Matt Wieters. I would think that if this is going to happen it would happen this week right before Soxfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Anyone who treats Sports Mockery as a legit source should know that they've cited several posters in here, including myself, as a source. They basically just type whatever they want and say they have sources and some people actually believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
