Congratulations, Avisail García! Your All-Star season in 2017 has earned you status as the seventh-most important member of the White Sox roster.

García won going away over the lil’ third sacker that could, Yolmer Sánchez, taking 60% (82 of 137 votes).

Here’s a curveball — or, perhaps, a slider — Bruce Rondón, new to the White Sox but first in your Friday the 13th hearts, now joins the battle.
