Avisail os s***

 

I agree. I want nothing to do with him unless he's basically free. If the White Sox want to take a couple C prospects then sure take a flier but that's not going to happen.

Who's the best prospect you'd give up for Avisail Garcia? Nobody expects a repeat, but he is only 26, coming off a 4.2 WAR season (in only 136 games). I don't think he'd be a terrible fit in LF.

 

I'd give up Urena & C.Greene.

 

 

Anyone know if he puts up above average exit velocity - or if his advanced metrics (launch angle, etc.) are promising?

Good questions. I did some stat scouting and it looks like he pulled the ball more last year and hit more flyballs as well.

There's nothing in his profile that would suggest his success last year was sustainable.

 

His xWOBA was .356

His expected wOBA, which takes into consideration launch angle and exit velocity, was .356. It does not consider defensive shifts or the speed of the runner, though.

 

It's possible there might actually be something there.

He wasn't really affected by shifts though and once teams start to catch on he's pull happy now that could effect his numbers.

It looks like he went from 37-38% pull up to 43% pull last year. Is that a significant change?

 

I don't pretend to know what wOBA is, but P2F says .356 suggests there's something there, while you use that number to suggest he won't repeat. S'plain please.

I used xwOBA to point out his .375 wOBA was lucky. P2F used it to show that .356 is still good (and well above league average).

 

I still don't think that .356 is his true talent though because as teams adjust to his pull happy approach and pitchers stop throwing so many strikes (He swings at everything) his numbers will suffer.

why is it so satisfying being a dink on the internet? I just don' know

 

Some people deserve it. It's the sense of serving justice.

No prospects, but they can have Tulo's contract and we'll throw in Todd and ClevelandSteamer to balance the deal out.
