Latest News
| Alejandro De Aza trading hits for homers |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/16/13) Fantasy owners were snooping on Alejandro De Aza's page Wednesday, as he has lingered on the most-viewed players list for much of the day. Given that De Aza has just one RBI over the last five games, it is hard to understand all of the sudden interest in him.
De Aza's power has been impressive this season, as he is posting a career-high .189 isolated slugging percentage. Unfortunately, that increase has come with a huge spike in his strikeout rate and a drop in his batting average.
De Aza is still putting up a solid .320 batting average on balls in play, but his batting average overall is just .257, thanks to a career-worst 28.3 strikeout percentage. De Aza is starting to look like another all-or-nothing White Sox power hitter, a marked change from his last two seasons.
If his increase in power is legitimately sustainable, Fantasy owners should ultimately expect De Aza to have similar value at the end of the day. Unfortunately, that still slots him in around the 60s in two of our three experts' outfielder rankings. I don't see any reason to expect a spike in value.

| Alejandro De Aza battling strikeout problem |

(4/26/13) White Sox left fielder Alejandro De Aza continued to battle strikeout issues in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rays, going 1 for 4 with one strikeout. His 26 strikeouts are second on the team to Adam Dunn and are a cause for concern for a leadoff hitter with a .235 batting average.

| White Sox outfielder Alejandro De Aza took a huge leap in playing time last season, going from an average of 86 at-bats in parts of four previous seasons to 524 at-bats in 131 games with Chicago. He put up solid numbers in the full-time role, with a .281 batting average, nine home runs and 26 steals (although he was caught stealing 12 times, fourth-most in MLB). This all added up to De Aza finishing 86th among batters in 2012, ahead of players like Mark Teixeira, Desmond Jennings and Pedro Alvarez. There's probably not a ton of room for growth here, as De Aza's power is likely topped out at nine or 10 home runs, and with him getting thrown out with regularity, the team may try to curb his basepath activity. The two areas where he may improve are batting average (he could maybe reach .295) and doubles (he had 29 last season). A good player who will neither carry your team on his back nor hurt it, De Aza, who makes for a lower-end outfield starter in leagues that carry five outfielders, should be taken in the company of the Michael Brantleys and Colby Rasmuses of the world in the later rounds of your drafts.
