Tom might be right about Benge
Benge is a beast.
Mike, very nice summary.
To be honest, though, Colin Houck is closer to being a bust than an “excellent 2026 breakout candidate”. Why? 286 Ks over 201 games in 2024 and 2025. He is still 20, but guys with that sort of K rate rarely get on a MLB track. Ivan Wilson, Jaylen Palmer Sherveyn Newton and Khalil Lee are examples. One guy who has had that problem but is now striking out far less and having a sensational high minors year in the Orioles chain is Jeremiah Jackson. Promoted from AA to AAA during 2025, in 40 AAA games, he is hitting a terrific .377 with just 20 Ks.
Colin, whatever Jackson figured out, do that.
With the trade deadline over, should some of these be looking to be moved up a level? The way Benge is hitting, a promotion to AAA might make him an option for center next year? If Williams performs at AAA, same thing at second? (Would really muddy the infield situation or create multiple options come this winter).
Trying to find a day when I can drive down from true upstate NY (the ADK) to see Binghamton play. I love their big five of Williams, Benge, Clifford, Morabito and Reimer. Especially if one of Tong or Wenninger is pitching. Oh boy!!
Thanks Tom! I agree with everything you are saying, perhaps my “Parada PTSD” has me a wee bit overly optimistic about Houck. It would be a shame if we wasted 2 first round picks so close together.
They have to be considering moving up Jett at the very least. The fewest number of GP @ AA by one of our recent top hitting prospects was Alvarez, who only played 67 games before being promoted to AAA. Benge is a college bat, so they may not wait as long as they did with Alvarez.
Steve, hurry down. How can they not promote? Maybe they want them in Eastern Leagues playoffs.
