I will fully admit my Baldwin bias isn’t rooted in a lot of hard numbers but for some reason I feel like he is gonna surprise a lot of us

The White Sox called Brooks Baldwin up on July 1. From that time to the end of the season, he OPSed .793. He needs reps to become a better defensive OF. I don't believe it makes any sense to waste his PAs in AAA. I believe he's secured one OF spot. They have around 5-6 AAA/AAAA guys who can battle for playing time with whatever Mike Tauchman they bring in. Acuna in CF, Pereira in RF, maybe Kelenic makes the team with a strong spring showing.

Baldwin - Acuna - Kelenic is the OF I would like to see work out to start the season.

Yeah, it's not good obviously, but you have to see where these guys fit. Would really prefer a RF upgrade, though.

Yeah RF seems like the lock to be rotated through with guys throughout the year. Baldwin and Acuna should be given every opportunity to stick.
