Not the upgrade at catcher I was hoping for, essentially he's another Tyler Flowers.

That's what he is. Fine for a placeholder as we launch for 2017.

 

He probably can play more than Soto; and he played first, so there's a backup should they be able to move Laroche along.

Can't wait for Hawk every game to talk about how beat up Avila gets behind the plate.

This was the most obvious signing of the offseason.

 

With Hawk and Stone always talking about him, you knew he was a future White Sox at some point. If he had continued to play like he played 4 years ago, it would have been when he was 34 or 35, but there is still some upside here.
