They should just give him CF if they trade Belli

Christian Franklin has homered in three straight games.

Ben Brown: 5 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K. Was perfect through 3. He’s at 70 pitches, not sure if he’s done.

In due time. He still has a lot to learn in regard to controlling the strike zone.

Yeah, I think he definitely needs AAA. I could see him come up to MLB post a 3 BB% and 30K% and completely flounder. I will say he's probably due for a AAA promotion though. His BB% is up to 8.0 in AA from 4.9 in A+ last year. K% has stayed about the same. If he could hold that BB% and get the K% down to about 20, I'd be real excited.
