Been out of pocket most of the weekend, but this is a really intriguing add.
Hopefully this could turn into the Indians version of JD Martinez.

Mike Clevinger has certainly inserted himself into consideration for a future big league role. Probably gets shut down soon though, already around 140 innings on the year, after only throwing 100 last year in his first full pro season.
Also note that Bradley tacked on 4 Ks to o with that HR. Pretty sure he has passed Russell Branyan's A ball K total.
Edit: OK, Bradley is at 140 Ks in 99 games. Russell the Muscle had 120 Ks in 70 games his first A full season go-round. Had 166 Ks the next season in 133 games- to go with 40 Hrs. 97 and 98 were his best years in the minors, as he posted 1.000+ OPSs and got the Ks down to a point that would today be considered acceptable. Curious to see if Bradley has the same success. Branyan was both ahead of his time a little and probably too stubborn, hopefully Bradley can make the adjustments that Russell didn't ( and get the shot Russell didn't after he left here).

All this k talk has me actually wonder...
Would anyone actually complain if you took Bradley's k rate and total stat line and just put it on our mlb roster?
Vast minority, but if I guy hits me 30 dingers a year but strikes out 5/10 at bats and hits 250, I won't be mad at all.

You're right. If we took his numbers and put them in the Indians line up, we'd all be ecstatic. However, the talk about his k rate stems from the fact that he's accumulating these K's against low-A pitchers, and that makes long-term success against more advanced pitchers questionable.

I would take Bobby Bradley's current .271/.356/.541 slash line no questions asked. There are only five guys in the entire American League with an OPS above .900
