So the guy who is likely going to get 2nd or 3rd place in the ROY and maybe wins a gold glove in LF, his spot as a starter is going to be taken from while given to a guy without a single MLB AB? Plus we also have Brennan who happens to be producing at the same level if not higher than Kwan did last season also in the mix.
Benson is having a great season and I want to find him a way onto the 40 man roster, but remember he doesn't have a great history of production in the minors. Honestly, he has never produced this way at any level before, so they will have to ask themselves can he improve or is it a fluke?
They have to make a big trade to get Benson a spot. LF is Kwan's spot until someone is able to take it from him and how likely is a guy whose career SO rate in the minors is over 30% going to take away our leadoff hitters spot and make him our 4th OF? Is Straw back to leadoff? If not then who leads off Benson?
Also is OGonz keeps playing so well, where does Valera fit into all of this? Also if you select Benson, how can you leave off Call, who actually has put up similar numbers... (less power, but better contact rate and way lower SO rate).
