The Chicago White Sox have many outfield prospects currently with Double-A Birmingham. After many of these same prospects experienced success last season with High-A Winston-Salem, they began this very year off to a slow start.
Outfield prospects such as Luis Gonzalez, Micker Adolfo and Blake Rutherford each have struggled to start this season. The only other outfield prospect with the Barons that was also with High-A Winston-Salem last season is Joel Booker, but he’s gotten off to a decent start to his 2019 season.
However, Booker’s solid start to this season wasn’t enough for the Barons early on.
