Re: Duck! It’s Jackie Bradley, Jr.
Maybe he’s headed to Syracuse to fill a spot and Drew Gilbert is headed to Queens!
Re: Duck! It’s Jackie Bradley, Jr.
Drew Gilbert has been out all but 40 abs this season due to a hamstring issue
He just went on a rehab assignment the other day. Not sure we see him at Citified this season

Yeah, not sure what he brings to the table that Bader doesn't, except not as good a stick.

Re: Duck! It’s Jackie Bradley, Jr.
Mets sites have been saying in the last few weeks that the Mets needed a lefty hitting outfielder.
They got one.
Now, let's get a better one.

Re: Duck! It’s Jackie Bradley, Jr.
He only has to be better than whoever he is taking ABs from in Syracuse in order for it to be worth signing him to a minor league deal as additional injury insurance. If they bring him to Queens absent an injury, that is a whole different story.Frayed Knot wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2024 3:24 pm Yeah, not sure what he brings to the table that Bader doesn't, except not as good a stick.

Most nights it's a pretty nondescript group of OFs up here. The talent on the field in on the infield
Re: Duck! It’s Jackie Bradley, Jr.
Yeah, and he has a good defensive reputation, so if he just makes the pitchers feel good that is fine too.

Re: Duck! It’s Jackie Bradley, Jr.
He's obviously got a cool name going, like he's a jazz musician or flamboyant personal injury lawyer. You remember him better than other Reserve outfielder who try and salvage their careers in the Atlantic League.
Re: Duck! It’s Jackie Bradley, Jr.
Was decent once. Good defensively. Was an All-Star. Won a Gold Glove. Had power. Decent speed. Strikes out a lot. Bad average.
We already have someone who somewhat fits that mold on the roster, Ben Gamel.

Re: Duck! It’s Jackie Bradley, Jr.
Yeah, but there's this other roster in Syracuse.
Re: Duck! It’s Jackie Bradley, Jr.
Bradley hit more than well enough with the Ducks to justify giving him a few weeks in Syracuse to see what he really has. I don't think a platoon partner for Bader would be a bad thing.

JBJ only has to be more useful than Ben Gamel, and he sounds that way.
