Chicago White Sox OF Avisail Garcia (shoulder) has lost a considerable amount of weight this offseason and is feeling great heading into the 2015 season. "I feel great," Garcia said. "Really good because I need to get in shape. I need to get ready for October. Everybody is on the same page. We want to play in October and hopefully everything works for us this year." Garcia posted a slash line of .312/.366/.528 with five home runs and 22 RBI and four stolen bases in 142 plate appearances in the Venezuelan Winter League, too, showing that he is well on his way to being fully recovered from a torn labrum in his shoulder last year.
