I’ve written about Bryce Brentz once already this year, so check out that article if you need a refresher on why I think he’s earned another chance with the Boston Red Sox. If hitting .271/.334/.529 with a league-leading 31 home runs in Triple-A doesn’t earn you a call up, I don’t know what will.
Despite his career season in Pawtucket, the 28-year-old outfielder was told that he didn’t fit the need for a call up this year. Didn’t fit the need. I find that hard to believe.
Sure, Brentz might not have the same success against big league pitching as he did in the minors.
