Designated hitters

[goffchile]

Any opinions on who are some of the best options under 5 mil? In the past I have had Wes Covington (pretty good), Hack Wilson (good, but pricey) and Larry Doyle (good but still a little expensive).

[raslavens]

What type of park? What type of offensive player does your team need most (HRs? OBP? balance?)?

[Treyomo]

Buck Freeman, McRae, K. Boswell (small ball cheapo), Adcock, Quirk/Pafko platoon in a hitters park...

[goffchile]

It is more of a general question, not specific to a team. I was thinking more of balanced hitters or a cheap platoon. Mcrae is an interesting choice, have thought about using him but would definitely need a solid back up.

Depends on what your looking for like raslavens said . JoJo Moore is always helpful , Jim Rice , Bass, George Bell, to name a few .

How about Rosen. At just a smidge over 5M (5.13), the dude can hit.

Rosen in Baker has had a .400 OBP with 30 HRs.

DH = Hitters that suck in the field?
Smallball:
J Alou
CClines

Big ball:
Quirk
Oglivie

[PJ Axelsson]

Along with those already mentioned:

C.Heathcote, F.Clarke, W.Covington, B.Miller, G.Davis, W.Horton, J.Medwick, M.Haas, J.Evans, C.Meyers, D.Buford, B.North, P.Dougherty, B.Oglivie, N.Leibold, A.Fletcher, D.Bush, J.Devore.

That's a nice list.

Devlin ain't bad for smallball if a cheap option is needed.

Alou makes an excellent RH DH. I've also used Mincher as a LH DH in a platoon situation to good effect.
