No, I think it'd be a huge coup if they managed to keep him from NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Holland learning the great trick of signing with the white sox to bottom out your career, then regaining form the next year and getting a nice contract. I do not particularly like this trend of sox free agent signings either ending upt he next year out of baseball or much better than when on sox.

bmags Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 You know what signing I liked? Twins signing Pineda last year. He would have been a really interesting piece to see recover this year and then either re-sign or trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was time to pull the cord, both on our end and his. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the new hitting analytics guy could have helped him, but I'm sure he was consulted before Avi was non tendered. If he ever gets his swing to a point he is putting it in the air most of the time, he is capable of huge numbers. But he is always hurt and is going to slow down, so he eventually will be strickly a DH or have to learn 1B. And they had one year of control. Made the decision easier I would imagine.

Pretty significant piece of news. There goes our chance of nabbing him next season. At $16M with a $2.25M buyout, pretty much no shot its not picked up unless he's TERRIBLE in 2019.

Nothing cringeworthy about it. The man is allowed to express his faith on his own twitter. Give me a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
