Seriously does Brooks Baldwin have a chance to be a major league contributor? 

In a perfect world, he's something like a Chone Figgins/Whit Merrifield hybrid.

Just think that it's hard to project anything with minor leaguers until you see multiple seasons of sustained success.

He's never going to be a power hitter, but if he can maintain a 750-800 OPS at the major league level, that would be incredibly valuable...mixed in with let's say 12-18 stolen bases.

Chone Figgins was a 22 WAR player with one season at 6.6.

In a PERFECT world was the key part of that.

The reality is that it's probably a 2-3% chance of coming close to happening...Baldwin has good speed, but nothing close to elite speed.

And Figgins had a lot of XB pop for a little guy.

 

Then we can try another comp that might be better, Chris Taylor.   Although Taylor strikes out more and also has/had a lot more pop in his bat, but more in terms of his positional flexibility.

Chone Baldwin added a double. Playing 3b tonight. Currently hitting .360 with a .940 OPS.

How about Baldwin Taylor?   That sounds a lot more like a generic White Sox player who's instantly forgettable.

Brooks Taylor sounds too much like a golfer or Indiana high school BB player.

Galanie off the charts.  4 more hits. Sheesh.

They need to get him to Winston and try to challenge him, 1.060 OPS now. And nobody really in his way for 1B reps. Also don't really see the need for three catchers on the Dash roster.

Hoopii-Tuionetoa (Grossman trade) pitched a scoreless 2K inning in relief of Bush, but Caleb Freeman blew a 4-1 lead in the 9th by giving up 4 straight hits including a double and a triple.

He followed it up with 3 straight strikeouts to strand the winning run at 3rd and keep it 4-4 to force extras.

Elko knocked in the free runner with a single, and Jordan Mikel (excellent name for a Baron) got the save for a 5-4 win.

Gonzo was 1-4 with a walk. Baldwin 2-5 with a double and HR. Elko maybe starting to heat up, 2-4 with a walk.

The Barons have the best record in AA.

There is no doubt the Sox are trying to take this opportunity to rig this team to win something as a positive to point at.

I will say it's fun to follow something positive for a change, it's been refreshing ??
