Delaney earned his degree in finance at Boston College and aspires to be a general manager or perhaps even a club president when his playing days are over. He also stood out on the field with the Eagles, winning all-Big East Conference honors twice and setting a school record with 256 career hits. Delaney's strength is his ability to put the bat on the ball. Following a disappointing pro debut, he has batted .302 the past two seasons, using a level stroke to spray the ball to all fields. He also developed some power last season, which he'll need to continue developing as he moves up through the farm system as a first baseman or left fielder. Delaney is adequate at both positions, though his lack of speed and arm strength hurts him in the outfield. He'll likely return to Double-A after spending the second half of 2007 there.
