Do Not Sell My Personal Information
If I’m not mistaken that’s Mr. & Mrs. Delgado’s son ?
 
Really looks like Benson is still struggling pretty hard. I can’t find a contact rate or anything on him to contextualize that average but the BB:SO ratio doesn’t look good at all.
 
Benson and Holmes never made sense and they still don’t now.

Completely overhauling his swing mechanics...going through growing pains. On-base skills are still there, as are the tools, but he was always going to be a long term project with a lot of bad mixed in with a lot of good.

Also, see some people giving up on Bobby Bradley as someone who matters in here. He continues to simplify things with his swing and approach, and is one average month of April away from still being highly regarded from his numbers alone.

.245/.324/.530 slash since May, still mashes, still produces runs, and is still young...not giving up on him quite yet.

I'm not giving up--but I've always viewed him as someone who had more trade value than how I valued him

Just a little disappointing to see him repeating AA without better results. Admittedly I've never been as high on him as others, but I still expected more from him this year.

Willie Castro having a really nice game in Akron tonight.
Bobby Bradley? Not so much. Couple of really dumb fielding plays, no hits.

We haven't seemed to have much luck with our 1st base prospects lately, but he has been stronger in July than in previous months which is a good sign. He has a lot of work to do, but I don't see him being on the big league club before 2020 anyways since we technically have EE and and Alonso signed until then. Hopefully he can get it together and prove us wrong (I am not overly high on him, at least not top 5 prospect in our farm system.)

The biggest question is if Bradley fails as our future 1st base, who else do you see playing 1st for us long term? I mean we have 28+ mil invested in that position right now. Would be nice if we can find production from somewhere in the farm to be able to resign some current guys we have.

When do you see him getting to AA? That seems to be a big test overall for guys at the end of the day.
