I'll just go ahead and say it. Will Benson is Jesse Winker level bad in the outfield. Bad angles and poor reads on flyballs should not be the norm for an outfielder but that's all that he has shown this year. And that ridiculously, embarrassing throw in Anaheim that the cutoff man had to come out to get because it didn't even roll halfway to the infield. I could see someone like Steer or Fairchild making these mistakes as they are converted infielders but Benson is strictly an outfielder and a shitty one at that.

Yep, I was pretty high on Benson the first month. But add in the fact he can't hit LHers very well and he's looking more and more like he's not an everyday player.
