Melky Cabrera was the top free agent outfielder on the market. Melky is 30 years old, and is likely exiting his prime, but he can still hit for both power and contact. In 2014 he slashed .301/.351/.458 and earned a WAR of 3.1. He will join Adam Eaton in the White Sox outfield , who earned a miraculous 5.2 WAR while flying under most star radars. The White Sox are led by stars Jose Abreu, Adam Eaton, and their amazing rotation (Sale, Samardzija, Quintana etc.), the new acquisition of Melky Cabrera is a big boost, and although they still have a few holes, such as second baseman Carlos Sanchez, they look like possible contenders for 2015.
