Jackie Bradley Starting to Heat Up at the Plate
6 years agoIt has been a miserable offensive start to the season for Boston Red Sox center fielder Jackie Bradley, but over the past few games, he has finally started to turn it around. Bradley is riding a five-game hitting streak which has seen him go 6-for-15 over that span. He has also recorded an RBI in his past three games. Bradley is a Gold Glove-caliber outfielder, but manager Alex Cora has been hesitant to give him regular playing time due to his inefficiency at the plate. He is still carrying a miserable .196 average on the season and has only driven in 12 runs. With that in mind, Bradley will be making his fifth straight start on Thursday, and if the hot streak continues, he may become a possible outfield option for fantasy owners in deeper leagues.
