Avisail Garcia is only turning 25 this June, and only played his first full season last year. His 601 plate appearances in 2015 wasn’t all that impressive, tallying a 66-13-59-7-.257 line in all. It doesn’t help his case that his defense is also quite lousy.
The White Sox and fantasy owners alike are hoping that the power takes another step forward in 2016, as his average batted ball distance was only good for 164th out of 248 qualified hitters (Jose Reyes is last, FYI). Unfortunately most things are not pointing to that improving, and it seems he’s just going to be a guy who hits the ball “fine” but has a better real-life approach rather than being a category driven hitter for fantasy purposes. You won’t get anything special in him, but in deeper formats where you play five outfielders he can be a good bat to throw in there as he gets consistent playing time.
