Dan Altavilla and the White Sox: A Reclamation Project or a Wasted Roster Spot?
The White Sox are taking a flyer on Dan Altavilla, hoping to recapture the potential he flashed early in his career. But is this a smart gamble or just another low-risk, low-reward signing? Altavilla’s arm talent is undeniable when healthy, but that’s a massive if. His injury history is extensive and worrisome.
Can Altavilla stay healthy and contribute meaningfully to a rebuilding White Sox team? Or is he destined to spend more time on the IL than on the mound? What does this signing say about the White Sox's overall strategy for their bullpen? Are they relying too heavily on reclamation projects, or is this a savvy move to find undervalued talent? Weigh in with your thoughts.
Let's also consider the crowded White Sox spring training. With limited roster spots available, who are the dark horse candidates you think could surprise and earn a spot on the Opening Day roster? Could Altavilla be one of them? What other under-the-radar players are you watching?
Finally, let’s talk velocity. Altavilla's fastball still touches the upper 90s. Is velocity alone enough to make him a valuable asset, or does he need to improve other aspects of his game? How much weight do you put on velocity when evaluating relievers? Is it overrated, or does it still reign supreme? Share your perspectives and let the debate begin!
