BALLER MOVE: Target ~320
CURRENT ADP: 366
ANALYSIS: Dioner Navarro has double-digit power, but he’s also 32 this year and doesn’t have a full-time gig right now. The White Sox seem to have brought him and Alex Avila in to form a platoon, with Navarro handling lefties (he’s a career .270 hitter vs. LHP and .249 vs. RHP).
Of course lefties are the less frequent opponent, but there’s also the matter of Alex Avila being pretty darn bad in his own right. There’s a decent chance that Navarro usurps some of those starts against righties if Avila continues his downward spiral. Avila also has a history of concussions. Even if Navarro can't supplant Avila, he may wiggle into the designated hitter role if Adam LaRoche has another terrible season. Navarro is a sneaky option who could provide value extremely late.
