Alex Avila wants to play, and against the Tigers

New White Sox catcher could take time away from Tyler Flowers, but he might have to prove it early

Five days after he signed, Alex Avila finally talked to the White Sox media. This feels like using the same coffee filter over a long weekend, not that the holiday is his fault. Unless it is.

Fortunately, his media conference -- specifically, the way he phrased a couple things during said media conference -- allowed me to extract just a little more post juice from a bench signing.

"It will be interesting, for sure, facing the Tigers again and going to Detroit and stuff like that -- with all the personal relationships," he said.
