Phillies could have avoided CF woes with Jackie Bradley Jr.

The Philadelphia Phillies really missed out by not signing now-Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. in free agency this past offseason.

Through 145 plate appearances, poor at-bats from center fielders Roman Quinn, Odubel Herrera, Mickey Moniak and Adam Haseley only justify that opinion further. The group of four have combined to slash just .154/.236/.246 with two home runs, 13 runs scored, and nine RBI. To put things into perspective, Los Angeles Dodgers center fielders have scored the most runs among all teams’ players at the position (49), while Texas Rangers center fielders have the most RBI (31).
