Sunday at 04:09 AM5 days Getz has stated that Braden will not be promoted from AA to the major league club. As a fan, I reserve the right to disagree and I do.Antonacci earned the starting job in LF because he hits and runs and gets on base in clutch situations, and Chase is playing 2B.Tristan Peters has earned the CF job by a surprisingly wide margin. He has speed and looks natural fielding that position. He has also proven from Opening Day on that he can hit in the clutch, bunt or scratch a base hit.So that leaves RF. The default RFer right now is Hays, who is adequate, but hasn't done that much to prove that RF is his.The way the White Sox are going now, I think Braden would fit right in and provide power from both sides of the plate.Beyond RF - Sox could also use a RH DH and of course, Teel , although his return to the club seems even more uncertain as time goes by.I dream of this team with Teel and Braden in the line-up. Even more HR power. Edited Sunday at 04:11 AM5 days by tray

Maybe after the TDL.Hopefully Teel can get back in the lineup by Mid to late May .
Sunday at 05:02 AM5 days tray isn't wrong. Braden is better than the trash we are putting out there currently.
Sunday at 05:11 AM5 days can't sacrifice proper development for a couple of wins at the big league levelSaleCrochetCarson FulmerVaughnMadrigaltoo many Sox prospects have been rushed to the big league level to cover up holes thereBraden also didn't get any milb reps his draft yeargive this until at least June to sort itself outHays needs at least 2 months of everyday playing time as well in order to boost his trade value...Braden is a very solid prospect but he's not Konnor Griffin either and still has to address the swing and miss aspects of his game before he feels all the pressure at the big league level to produce Edited Sunday at 06:02 AM5 days by caulfield12
Sunday at 06:08 AM5 days Braden should be promoted to AAA first. He has improved walk rate, shown awesome improvement in game power and has gotten K% down slightly under 25% finally, but we still need to see what happens to the average and K% when he hits AAA. If it spikes to over 30%, he's gonna need a couple of months to work on it further. Alot of our guys struggled with the jump from AA to AAA. Need to see what he does with it first for at least a couple months but there's a decent shot he could be in Chicago by August or September.He should be promoted to AAA tho.

Even more HR power.We haven’t had a right fielder in many moons and eventually Braden should be the guy, they probably should send him up to Charlotte and if he excels there then maybe a mid season call-up would be in the cards. Bottom line don’t rush him. Edited Sunday at 11:38 AM5 days by The Mighty Mite

Or 1B if they can't keep Mune.

Sunday at 06:19 PM4 days 47 minutes ago, Timmy U said:Vargas has demonstrated he absolutely cannot be an outfielder.Has he? He's stood out in LF during parts of 3 games in 2 seasons, and it looks like he caught the 3 balls hit at him. I think I remember one weird read that put him far enough away from the eventual path of the ball that nobody could call it an error.

Monday at 03:09 AM4 days It's insane that we couldn't at least put together a bottom 25 outfield instead of an absolute minus 25 outfield. One hard hitting outfielder and one good defensive outfielder that can bat 225 would have this team so much better. On paper Acuna, Benintendi and Hays was the worst in baseball and they're worse than the worst in fact they're the worst of all time and it's not acceptable. Combined with trying to force Antonacci to play outfield I swear they're worse than just playing wiffleball rules and anything drops being a single defensively and they can't do s%*# offensively either..This is a disasters we should be buyers even if it's for like some random Marlins backup is Kyle Stowers or Esteury Diaz available?

J.Gonzalez?They already had Hill rostered.i mean floundering guys with potential just like they were before? find our stowers. Maybe a struggling slugger batter like Jake Burgers or Andrew Vaughn or a mediocre outfielder like Romy Gonzalez or Gavin Sheets who has shown signs
