The answer seems obvious. The rebuild is off to a great start.

Let's not go crazy. He's very good but I'm not sure he's one of the 12 best baseball players on the planet. Yet.

So far he has been. Might not end up that way at the end of the season, but I sure hope he's figured things out and can be a great player for the Sox.

:lol: He's 25. He can still be a viable player when the Sox are done with the rebuild. I mean if somebody blows you away with an offer for him you obviously make the deal. Melky is the guy who the Sox should be shopping though, not Avi.

Is Avi in a contract year? If so, explains everything. This isn't Magglio Ordonez we are talking about.

Pulled this from a Dec 2nd, 2016 article....So it looks like he is on a 1 year deal. That would lesson his trade value I would imagine.

Avisail Garcia, the leader in swinging strike percentage for batters with over 400 PA last season, agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal.

Big swingandamiss from walkrman.

Avi is under Sox control (arbitration eligible) thru 2019.

And if you hit .200 with 20RBI you get paid less than hitting .300 with 100RBI.

More like a foul tip. I'm still alive...and still in the box.

He avoided arbitration by signing a 1 year deal. The Sox have control of Avi for the next two seasons after this one, so the deal he signed to avoid arbitration does not hurt his trade value.

Nope, you're done. Grab some bench.

I believe they have him through 2020 but I'll have to look it up

Post subject:  Re: Is Avi Garcia the best outfielder in Chicago?

Baseball reference had him as "earliest free ajent- 2020". I don't know if that means before or after the 2020 season.

Post subject:  Re: Is Avi Garcia the best outfielder in Chicago?

The White Sox control Garcia only through the 2019 season. He is an UFA for the 2020 season.

2017 was his 2nd arbitration year.

Yep. And both Chicago teams only have one, and only deserve that one.

He is the best, at least for now.
You can't take that away from him.

Bringing him back was the best move they made.

I'd be surprised if he hits. 300 by the end of September.

Yeah but you also had Schwarber hitting .280 - in the majors - this year.
