Steele Walker is a cool name. Though it also sounds like something that an elderly person would use to get around following hip surgery.

Steele Walker sounds like something I would pour over ice after a long day.

And Nomar Mazara sounds like an ethnic soup.

Mazara has been a significant disappointment IMO. Don't blame the White Sox for making this move, probably are hoping that a change of scenery does Mazara good, but so far he's been a very mediocre player.

Weird stat history - he's pretty much been the exact same offensive player for four seasons. He was extremely young when they brought him up but he's never improved (slight uptick in slugging last year). He's only going into his age 25 season so he could easily break out very soon.

White Sox were desperately looking for a LH OF bat, and quite frankly the FA market for LH hitting corner OF is pretty thin. Mazzara had an .844 OPS vs. RHP in 2019. I'd say it's another good deal for the White Sox.

White Sox are making some nice moves this offseason. Bringing in Mazara, signing Grandal, and retaining Abreu. Their offense just got a whole lot better. If they bring in a rotation arm like Keuchel, Bumgarner, or Ryu, they are going to be a very interesting team to watch.

 

I could see them having a 20 game swing from 72 to 92 wins next season. Having Giolito and Cease all year, adding a big name rotation arm, and bringing in a back end starter to round it out, they could make a real run at the postseason in 2020.
