Interesting that he's the one of the OFs that they are talking about moving to first.  I guess that, because he was projected as the corner OF, his D is probably not at the level of Wood / Green, but was his D a liability?

I think a combination of a lot of factors. Its always been mentioned as a possibility. I think in large part to him having a bulkier frame and being young for his class. He's probably going to end up being 6'2 230 as he matures, while not being a freak athlete. That says more 1b than OF. Then of course OF happens to be the strength of the system, so you might as well start the transition.

I hope it's only part time though. I think there's value in him still running around the outfield and chasing balls down. Try to maintain as much of that athleticism for as long as you can. There's no guarantee the other guys pan out, and OF could still be an outcome, so I don't think they should shut it down completely.

He’s struggling. Hitting below .200. Just struck out on an 89 Mph fastball.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

looks like he's making an adjustment to hi A. Even though he's over 3 years younger than league average, for the past 28 days, he's hit .281 / .388 / .439 over 68 PA, only 5 XBH (1 HR).

Pinning it on 1 game, the turn around started on 6/14, the start of a 6 game hitting streak. Since then, he's .320 / .424 / .500 over 60 PA.

Funny thing is, that's 4 days after Brady House moved up to Wilmington. I guess the White / House combo is back on track.

Heck, as much as I'd like not to push Daylen Lile too hard, he's doing well enough to consider reuniting the trio in A+. They are pretty good buddies since they were put together in the complex league.

White is young enough he could be sent back down to F-burg if he's overmatched at Wilmington this time. He's had over 430 PAs in A+ and has been overmatched. He's the youngest position player at Wilmington, and 2.3 years younger than league average. If he were in A, he'd still be a bit younger than league average.

11 game hitting streak at Wilmington. 17-for-41 (.415), 3 2B, 3 HR, 9 RBI, 3 BB, 6 R in that stretch.  Turns 21 in a couple of weeks.

On fire as of late at Wilmington. Via Hasim Horne @_soundthehorne

TJ White has been on a tear at High-A over the last month. Came in today slashing .328/.377/.563 since June 27 (18 games).

Tonight, on his 21st birthday:

3-4, HR, 2 RBI

He hit a 2-out, 2-run, go-ahead HR in the 8th. Proved to be the game winner for Wilmington.
