The Chicago White Sox have avoided salary arbitration with Jose Abreu, agreeing to terms on a one-year, $10.825 million deal with the first baseman.Abreu became eligible for arbitration earlier this offseason after opting out of the final three years of his six-year, $68 million deal, which he signed before the 2014 season.The signing of Abreu on Saturday is the latest move in what already has been a busy offseason for the White Sox, who dealt away ace pitcher Chris Sale and center fielder Adam Eaton in blockbuster trades earlier this month.Abreu also has been rumored as a potential trade candidate for the rebuilding White Sox, along with All-Star pitcher Jose Quintana, slugging third baseman Todd Frazier, veteran outfielder Melky Cabrera and closer David Robertson.Abreu, 29, batted .293 with 25 home runs and 100 RBIs last season. It marked the third time in as many seasons with the White Sox that the Cuban slugger finished with at least 100 RBIs.The American League Rookie of the Year in 2014, Abreu has a .299 career average with 91 homers in his three seasons with Chicago.

Not as far as youd think.Thats the answer Im giving to folks who are asking me this simple question: How far does LeVeon Bell drop in your rankings?The Pittsburgh Steelers running back and fantasy superstar is facing a four-game suspension for a violation of the NFLs drug policy, according to sources (as reported by ESPNs Dan Graziano).The reports are that the violation is for a missed drug test, not a failed one, and an appeal is underway, which is why it hasnt been announced officially by the league. That means it could go away, it could be reduced or, yes, he could miss the first four games of the season.So lets assume hell miss four games. How far do you drop a guy who, if 100 percent healthy and eligible for all 16 games, is the best running back in fantasy? Not as much as youd think.We talk about this a lot, but its worth noting again: Fantasy football is a weekly game. Here, hang on to that for a second and lets do some quick loosey-goosey math.We project Bell to score 188 fantasy points in ESPN standard scoring this season in 12 games played, which works out to 15.7 points a game. Last season, those 188 points would have made him the third-best running back in fantasy. Bingo bango, lets slot him in at No. 3, right?Of course, there are some off-field concerns, and hes been seriously injured the past two years, so we can drop him a little more and call it a day, right? Hes great when healthy, but theres a definite risk there. Maybe he even misses another game for some reason ... OK, lets drop him into the 9-12 range and were done here, yes?The key is DeAngelo Williams. From Week 9 on last season, he was the best running back in fantasy on a per-game basis. Hell be an easy top-10 running back for Week 1 against the Redskins and a must-own for anyone drafting Bell.dddddddddddd Given Bells injury history and the possibility of further concerns, injury or otherwise, Williams has tremendous upside. Keep in mind, Williams got double-digit carries in only eight games last season and still finished as the fourth-best running back in fantasy.Regardless of whether you get Williams, if you draft Bell, you obviously dont have to start someone who gets you a zero. You get to replace Bell with a viable running back. Say we give you a replacement level of seven points per game from your substitute not named DeAngelo Williams. Now youre at 216 total points from that running back position, or one point less than last seasons No. 2 at the position, Adrian Peterson.Theres risk with Bell for a variety of reasons, but when hes right there is no one better. Frankly, given his injury, extra time to rest before the season and less wear and tear during the course of the season is actually a good thing for Bell.Assuming the four-game suspension and considering the additional risk, I have Bell as my No. 6 RB and an easy selection in the second round overall. I have moved Williams up to RB26 in my ranks and think hes worth grabbing in the seventh or eighth round, though if I owned Bell I would absolutely reach for Williams in the sixth. And for deeper leagues, Fitzgerald Toussaint, who had more than 100 total yards in the Steelers first-round playoff victory against the Bengals last postseason, becomes worth consideration as a late-round flier.
