Who thinks he breaks camp with the Bosox. The Ortiz injury helps.

I HIGHLY doubt he makes the opening day roster. Management would probably like to see what kind of performance he can sustain over some time in AAA before they consider bringing him up to the show. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in sooner than later though if he keeps raking there.

Sirius Xm radio hosts believe Bradley will break camp and be the Starting LF of the Red Sox. I'd take a flier on him.

Hit ~.320 in about 250 AB's in A-ball. Gets called up to AA and struggles to hit liners, rebounded late and wound up hitting .271 over a similar amount of AB's, around 250 or so. I follow the Sox. I remember when Cesar Crespo hit .350 in ST and everybody was talking about him. Turns out he was Cesar Crespo and he never had any real value after spring '04. We're talking about a way better talent here, and Jackie Bradley has a great approach, plays great defense and might even make the team. I doubt he has any fantasy value though. Part of me doubts they'll bring him up at all because of the underwhelming adjustment to AA last year. He needs some AAA time, or he'll struggle to make adjustments in the majors. That's just what I think. He's a future valuable pro. He's always going to be a single digit home run guy who will have more value to an actual baseball team because of his fielding and base running than to a fantasy team. He's going to get by with his eye and athleticism. Maybe he makes huge gains and becomes a big fantasy name one day, but that won't be this year. I bet it won't be next year too.

Unless he herniates a disc while rolling out of bed Bradley is expected to make the MLB roster.

THe rest is up to him.

He is kind of a little dude. Hopefully he is a sparkplug that the team feels they need.

assuming he plays all year in mlb wich i doubt.. ld say best case scenario is somewhere along the lines of .270 8HR 45rbi 20SB...As someone else stated he is a better baseball player than a fantasy player, there is alot of upside for him to grow though and i do not rule out the possibility of him gaining fantasy relevance in the future,, smart player. as a sox fan i hope he does come out of the gates swinging and makes a bold impression for himself ;-D
