Are there any right fielders under 2 or 3 mil that would do well in Turner Feild. :roll: Could use a few of the mvp's opinions.

Thanks. :?

I'm not a Turner expert, but in that price range I'd suggest Kearns if you want a RH RF or Higginson for a left-handed RF.

In that park I like:


Lefties:
S. Green
Sledge
Tucker

Righties:
Michaels (May need a platoon though)
Hidalgo


There are also alot of other guys that fit nicely that either need a platoon or are a higher injury risk.

I used Higginson in TURNER FIELD, good D, didn't hit for a great average but had decent power and alright OBP. Long Story short I'd use him again.
Gerut may also be a good option. As posted Green,Sledge,Tucker all options D not as good though. If you don't care about D then Sweeney or Lawton could also be used. That being said if I already had plenty of Offence, I'd use Higginson for his D, I batted him #2.

Here are Higginson's #'s from My Turner Field team

AB R 2B HR RBI BB SB E .AVG .SLG .OBP
505 86 11 19 70 66 0 5 .224 .374 .322

I played him against lefties to, if you want to platoon him against righties his #'s will be better.

If you can eek out a few more $, brady clark for me. Great leadoff, good spped, good obp. 2 defender 0 arm but oh well.
