When will the A's promote Franklin Barreto and Matt Chapman to the Majors? What are we saving by keeping them in the Minors if it's more than likely they're gone in three years?
-- Jaden D., Yuba City, Calif.
The A's have said they won't rush Barreto and Chapman, who are rated the club's Nos. 1 and 4 prospects, respectively, by MLBPipeline.com, until they're absolutely ready to join the big leagues permanently. But it's getting harder to ignore Barreto's performance at Triple-A Nashville while the A's fight their way to .500, bringing heightened urgency to this question.
