How do you feel about this, Chicago White Sox fans … Nori Aoki signing with the Good Guys this offseason?

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe wrote the following on Sunday:

"“Aoki is likely to leave the Royals and sign elsewhere. He was a nice fit for the Royals and will be a nice fit elsewhere as a good on-base, defensive right fielder. Look for the White Sox to be a team with a lot of interest.”"

This is interesting, and it would add improvement to the outfield, as they want to improve at left field, even though Aoki is a right fielder. Avisail Garcia could possibly move to left field, or even Adam Eaton could if need be, but this would be a good problem to have for the White Sox.

Aoki is already familiar with the AL Central since he just finished the season with the American League champion Kansas City Royals, and the White Sox should be able to afford him.

This past season, during the regular season in 132 games, Aoki batted .285 with a .349 on-base percentage and .360 slugging percentage.

Also in ’14, Aoki had 140 hits, which included 22 doubles, six triples and one home run. Along with 43 walks, Aoki had 43 RBIs.

Again, I most certainly wouldn’t have a problem with Aoki, because it is an improvement over Dayan Viciedo at the plate (in terms of consistency, not power) and in the field, as Aoki had a .991 fielding percentage.
