If you put Brad's current numbers into the Minor League Equivalency Calculator at Minor League Splits, it comes up with .263/.348/.406. I'm not sure if Joe did the same, but it's not like he just pulled the numbers out of nowhere. I like Brad and think he could eventually outperform those numbers (especially the slugging) in the majors, but, if I saw Brad starting regularly at first next year, I would expect us to have a ridiculous starting rotation to offset the offensive downgrade.
