From Baseball America’s Prospects Blog: 

Playing for Detroit’s Triple-A Toledo club, Eldred hit three more home runs on Tuesday night to lead the Mud Hens to a 12-8 win over Columbus. Eldred now has a pro ball leading 12 home runs (in only 19 games) and has raised his batting average to .390. With 239 career minor league home runs, Eldred has now lept past Val Pascucci into fifth place on the minor league active career leaderboard. 

Depressing fact: Brad Eldred’s career OPS in the big leagues is just one point lower than Pedro Alvarez’s. 

About Pat Lackey

In 2005, I started a WHYGAVS instead of working on organic chemistry homework. Many years later, I've written about baseball and the Pirates for a number of sites all across the internet, but WHYGAVS is still my home. I still haven't finished that O-Chem homework, though.
