BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues and AL-Only Leagues
OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: After starting the season with a strong risk of being sent back to the Minors, Avisail Garcia has finally started to produce for the White Sox. That terrible start included a stretch of 15 games during which he went 7-for-52 with a .269 slugging percentage. That's awful for any hitter, let alone a DH. Garcia must have heard the demotion rumors loud and clear, as the 24 year-old now finds himself in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak, over the course of which he has posted a .472/.524/.778 line with two dongs and 11 runs scored. Even with those two stretches mixed together, Garcia holds a respectable .273/.350/.477 line on the season, which alone should warrant owning in most formats. Plus, the sky is the limit for this guy. With each season of experience he puts behind him, his production should improve, as it has already for the past few years. There is no reason to doubt Garcia could hit more than 20 HR this year (or much more, for that matter) while keeping a palatable average in the .275 range.
