Bradley had one of the worst seasons that a regular player has ever had last year with a -0.7 WAR and a 34 OPS+ (100 is league average). He has been a productive offensive player -- 2015, 16, 20; but for his 9 year career, he has an overall 87 OPS+.

The prospects do look pretty good. Binelas looks like a corner infielder and Hamilton is a middle infielder. Hamilton is close to the bigs, having played pretty well in the Arizona Fall League. Binelas is likely a couple of years away.
