Should I Stay or Should I Go: José Abreu

fWAR: 3.9
bWAR: 4.2
WARP: 3.6

He should have stayed On a team that struggled mightily to produce on offense all season long, Pito was once again the team’s rock, leading all White Sox position players in WAR by a significant margin due to a combination of availability (157 games played) and continued excellence at the plate (137 wRC+). He lost a lot of his power stroke, but compensated with a higher walk rate and lower strikeout rate. The team can ill-afford to lose arguably its only reliable offensive presence.
