he gone. Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Wish him luck. He always tried his hardest and can't fault him too much that results weren't consistent. There's part of me that thinks he's destined to be JD Martinez Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Just hope Sox execute their plan this offseason, as I would have rather seen Avi get at bats than Alonso or Jay, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Good for Avi. Thought he may need to take a minor league deal. I am guessing $3.5-4M range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 If the Rays are after a player it means something. Watch Avi turn into the player we all thought he could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I wish Avi well and hope he can stay healthy. Trevor Bauer will sorely miss him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and you can see why with him. Good exit velocity on hits, great arm in right. Good speed on basepaths... and yet never put it together.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he returned to similar form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaDoc Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I had hoped we would sign him to an incentive laden deal. This was a bit lower than I expected. Funny guys rarely take that kind of deal from there team as it is often perceived as "disrespectful". Then they end up taking less somewhere else.

I don’t see Delmonico or Palka being the answer Edited January 14, 2019 by elrockinMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Avi should get plenty of AB's with Tampa. Certainly better than Carlos Gomez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 That's a really low amount for a 1 yr. deal. He really had no market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
