Brooks has homered in the first game of the DH. He has been unconscious in Charlotte.

Unless they want to improve him in other areas, he's wasting away there.

Colson 2K’s. Expanding his zone both up and down again. Hopefully he’s not backsliding.

He just might be another failed position player this organization is known for.

Report was all around defense to be passable at all the positions.

Which requires being at least a 725-750 OPS hitter at the major league level to make up for the negative defense.

It's the same with Sosa, although at least Baldwin brings more to the running game.

That was certainly my hope. It...was hopeful. He probably can play SS as a backup and maybe CF but he was horrific in the corners and his bat stunk too. He might just be a AAAA guy. I dunno might as well just let him get regular experience down in AAA,  he's still got a couple years of development in house even as a fast rising college pick before  you can really say what he is. It's probably nothing but no rush to get him back up given current health of roster.

That has no bearing as to the idea that he was sent down to work on defense.

But if the White Sox continue to view him purely as a utility guy, and that was the common perception entering the season...it's hard to imagine how dramatically he could transform himself at CF LF RF 3B SS 2B in order to provide enough value to offset all the errors and fundamentals mistakes that he makes on a nearly daily basis.

But again. The question was he was sent down to work on defense.

He wasn't playing enough to get into any kind of offensive rhythm.

Making him one of the lowest fWAR guys other than Vaughn and Amaya.

Baldwin is in line to be CF in 2026.

No thanks.

He's not the starting CF on a real contenders.

On one of the five worst teams in baseball...but he doesn't come close to ONeil Cruz or Brenton Doyle.

Maybe in Miami.

Again what does this have to do with his going down to AAA to work on defense?

Next year Robert and Taylor will be gone.  Baldwin probably will get the OD nod, unless some lucky trade is made. Thus, he is in Charlotte to get some live action in CF.

You know they will sign some veteran crap player to start the year in CF

Yep. With the strike/lockout in 27 there is no way JR is going to authorize any significant contracts.
