Kraig Binick has been absolutely tearing up Bluefield, and is 22 years old.
AVG G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI TB BB SO SB CS OBP SLG OPS

He's undersized (5' 10", 180 lbs) but he is really putting up impressive numbers and at his age, I don't want to see him spend an entire season sitting in Bluefield.
Angle and Crancer should get two of the spots in the Aberdeen outfield, but Binick should get the opposite corner outfield. If he turns out to be over his head in Aberdeen, than sit him down. He's 22 and should at least be servicable there. The entire Bluefield team for the most part is above league average in age and I think they are the oldest team in the league.
It's not challenging him at this point. I know you will all shout that he could just be on a run, but I don't know if he should even have been in Rookie ball to begin with. He may have been relegated to that spot because of the large number of college players taken in the draft and the fact he attended a small school. Last year, when the draft was more evenly split between HS and College kids, he may have started at Aberdeen.
