I've been a fan of his since we drafted him but his ability to just get hits is limited. He walks enough, and gets hit by a ton of pitches, so his OBP is good, but in the minors I'd like to see him hit for more than .240 in hitter-friendly leagues. If he succeeds he's Greg Zaun with Iannetta's hitting profile. He's still 2-3 years away though as he works on this catching conversion, and I hope somebody can teach him to get this miracle called a single before he faces targeted pitching.
Braden Bishop I was down on, even openly derisive of on draft day, because I saw a bunch of him in college and the guy's swing was never gonna be ANYTHING. He was Charles Gipson or Oz Navarro, and I don't care how fast those guys are or how great they glove it, the chances of even becoming Peter Bourjos is a stretch.
So naturally Bishop changed his swing in one offseason to something I like more, and now he's hitting well and looking like a legit option as a glove CF who can be a threat on the bases and runs down everything in the OF. He's never gonna have a HR swing but now it's not just a nothing-but-singles prayer hack. The doubles power looks real to me, and that's all he needs with a glove like he has. Might be some Bourjos in him yet (or if you prefer, some righty-Dyson) and that's a good thing.
