White Sox Claim Daniel Fields From Dodgers

By Steve Adams | January 7, 2016 at 1:57pm CDT

The White Sox announced today that they have claimed outfielder Daniel Fields off waivers from the Dodgers. Fields was designated for assignment last week after the Dodgers finalized their signing of left-hander Scott Kazmir.

Fields, 25 next month, has spent the majority of the past two seasons at the Triple-A level, where he’s batted a combined .225/.312/.358 with 13 homers and 25 steals in 825 plate appearances. Baseball America has ranked him among the Tigers’ Top 30 prospects in each of the past six offseasons (26th last winter) since he received a $1.625MM bonus to forgo his college commitment to Michigan. Their latest scouting report noted that he has fringy arm strength and is a fringe-average runner, making him better suited to play left field than center field. He does have average raw power, per BA, but he’s also prone to swinging and missing.

Much like catcher Josmil Pinto, Fields is being bounced around the league quite a bit this winter. After spending 2015 with the Tigers, he’s been claimed by the Brewers, Dodgers and now White Sox, making them his fourth organization since season’s end. Considering the fact that the Sox have been linked to outfield upgrades, it makes sense to add Fields as a depth piece. However, the fact that Chicago may yet bring in a veteran outfielder also lends some uncertainty to Fields’ roster spot.

    Raw power, but swings and misses a lot.. Yep, sounds like someone Kenny Williams would want.

    FIRE VENTURA WILLIAMS AND HAHN NOW! Is Reinsdorf in a coma or just taking a 3 year nap. The team can’t draft anyone who’s any good unless he’s in the top 10. No player development. No accountability on the major league team. The organization is a disaster. Their average attendance of 20,000 must be good enough for ownership. One more year like the last 3 and they may as well move! Sox Suck!
