QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 29, 2015 -> 11:31 AM) I was somewhat surprised yesterday when I noticed that Avi's OPS has dropped to the very low 700's. I guess I shouldn't be though, as his recent free fall has been apparent to anybody paying attention. After digging a little deeper, I realized that I shouldn't be shocked at all. Across the last 3 seasons (all over 100 PA), Avisail has been the model of consistency. Not only has been a below replacement level player in all 3 seasons, but his wOBP, wRC+, K%, etc. have stay almost completely constant. He may be young and have plenty of room to grow still, but through 760 PA, it's likely we are seeing the player Avisail will always be. Coming back to Earth a little bit, I was interested in seeing how he compared to some other White Sox. I immediately regretted this decision. When comparing Avi's numbers against fan favorite Dayan Viciedo, I came to a very sobering realization: Avisail is a younger version of Dayan Viciedo. Don't believe me? Here are their career numbers: Avisail Garcia 760 PA 5.1 BB% 23.4 K% .132 ISO .272 AVG .316 OBP .403 SLG .316 wOBP 97 wRC+ -1.6 WAR Dayan Viciedo 1798 PA 5.3 BB% 21.6% .170 ISO .254 AVG .298 OBP .424 SLG .315 wOBP 95 wRC+ -0.9 WAR While he could make up ground over his next 1000 PA, Avi is largely the same player as Viciedo, maybe even slightly worse. His only positive UZR is in LF, a position in which the White Sox have never even tried him. I hope that the White Sox are smart enough to no longer be blinded by potential with Avi this offseason, there is nothing suggesting he is an ascending talent. It is either time to move him or utilize him in a different role. Seems to make sense why we got him for a free falling Jake Peavy in his walk year, eh?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 08:31 AM) Yesterday, Matt Abbatacola said that he knows that the White Sox wouldn't get what Sale is worth in a trade but that they should do it anyway? What? I think that's really because it's impossible to get his value. Sale is worth more than any player in baseball not named Trout or Harper.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 07:06 AM) The White Sox are relevant in Chicago again!!!!!

Hilarious that people think a 1-year qualifying offer is even a thing.

Sounds like he got buster at the border. He'll be fine in Chicago.

True Detective was amazing tonight.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 02:06 PM) bill writz owns the licquer company that provided the licquer to the games, he was part owners for the vending companies that provided the cups, napkins, and other paper goods to the team and yes toliet paper. thru the bismark vending or restaurant, they provided all the snacks and other food staples that the other vendors sold, plus the deal from Budweiser for being the beer of choice esp at a discount for both the bulls and hawks where it is shared with the bulls owners. parking lot, and other advertising. Bill Wirtz doesn't own s***, because that cocksucker is dead. f*** him.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 09:46 PM) Kane shouts out Hedman. Yes he's very good. Future Norris winner The next Pronger, but less of a douchbag.

Hawks! Ok, I guess Crawford can stay. Duncan Keith passes officially Chelios as my favorite Hawk ever.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 05:03 AM) Chicago Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg is pursuing San Antonio Spurs assistant Jim Boylen to be his top assistant coach, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Let's win the coach battles and lose the battles on the floor. I wonder how long it'll be until Pax chokes Hoiberg.

ABC aired LeBron's dong. http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/hey-look...dium=socialflow

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) That is a lot of coin wow. That's how much they had to pay the clown since he's the only person on the planet who respects Gar Forman.

James Harden just s*** his pants.

And Kobe Bryant is a Bull 8 years ago. Bernstein is a clown when he tries to break stories.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 13, 2015 -> 11:25 AM) These next two games will decide Thibs is career. Yup. I'm sure he'll be happy to coach LBJ next year in Cleveland.

Need 5 points with 10 seconds left. Dribble ball for 7 seconds and don't defend the inbounds pass. Good night.

Sigh. Another blown game. All hail the King.

Lame season. If thibs can't out coach David blatt he can take a walk.

Of course the basket counts!!!!

LeBron loves to f*** us. And I assume Derrick just broke his wrist.

Please take DeAndre Jordan out of this game so it will become watchable.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ May 10, 2015 -> 07:23 PM) Of course it was all Lebron coverage on ESPN after the game today. Heck, even after Friday's game, half of the coverage was still on Lebron and the Cavs. That's kinda how things work.
