Alejandro De Aza continued his impressive power display, smashing his seventh home run of the season in Friday's loss to the Angels.

It marked the second consecutive game that De Aza led off the game with a home run. After his 2-for-5 effort, he's now hitting .252 on the season with seven bombs, 15 RBI and five stolen bases. The 29-year-old outfielder is proving that his breakout 2012 campaign was no fluke, and he's developing into an impact fantasy contributor. While the power is very unlikely to continue at this pace, he's a solid bet to hit 15 homers and steal 20 bases with plenty of runs scored hitting atop the White Sox lineup.

Alejandro De Aza doubled and homered, driving in two runs against the Rangers on Wednesday.

The home run was De Aza's fifth of the year after hitting just nine all of 2012. His primary weapon is his speed -- he's also stolen four bases this season -- so a power surge would be a welcome addition to his skillset. Batting leadoff, De Aza won't drive in a ton of runs, but he looks primed to contribute everywhere else this summer.

Alejandro De Aza has accepted an invitation to play for the Dominican Republic in the 2013 WBC.

De Aza is replacing Carlos Gomez, who has decided to remain in Brewers camp all spring. The White Sox center fielder batted .281/.349/.410 with 26 stolen bases in 2012 and should again be a strong fantasy outfielder in 2013.
