chw42 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 04:58 PM) lol, come on, no one actually said he was the second coming of Miguel Cabrera. People said his swing was similar to Cabrera, which is not the same thing. They called him Little Miggy didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSox Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 First game of the year where I can't actually watch it, since I'm at work... I think the frustration on these "break the game open" opportunities are intensified because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) I'm willing to give Avi some slack because he's still young. If he's still doing this when he's 28, then probably not. Avi won't be playing baseball at 28. Not in the MLB anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, my point was that if the Sox didn't think that Avi was going to be a legit major league RF or DH, they probably would've dealt him by now (say, him in the Frazier deal instead of Trayce). But they didn't, and that seems to indicate that they're confident in him developing into every-day player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox spent the entire winter trying to replace the guy, but don't think that Jerry Sands or Travis Ishikawa is a better option. I'd hardly call that a ringing endorsement.
