Most under-priced players?

Our historical single season sets

Postby Palanion » Fri Mar 07, 2008 11:24 am

Though Terry Pendleton is not a great hitter, he can provide a little slappy hitting versus lefties, and in a system that heavily rewards defense, a 1 at third base for .67 is a deal to me.
I also think that Jim Presley (a 2 at 3b) with his great clutch hitting is an ideal platoon man for a very reasonable price. Though I have yet to implement it, I think you could pair Presley up with a one of a few guys and get better production overall from them for under $5 than most of the 3B priced over 3B.

I have to agree with the Pendleton assessment; at $670,000 he is a good value defensive player. Don't forget he is rated 'a' for stealing and a 'b' for both bunting and hit & run so is able to bring strategy to the discussion also.

Alvaro Espinoza? Singles can be a good thing. Bob Dernier also seems to be platoonable.

Just gotta hope HAL reads "avoid RHP" as "never, ever let him get near the batter's box when there's a righty on the mound."

How about Danny Cox, Gary Ward or Rickey Henderson.

Tom Lawless is only .50, is a AA SB, and has a great OBP against lefties.

I'll second Lawless. He's a freak. Not the world's greatest fielder however. In general, I think hitters have been pretty accurately priced but the pricing of pitchers is wacky.

Brett Butler appears a good value at sub-4M. We will update at season's end. 8-)

Also Lonnie Smith should make an excellent DH.

Larkin

Postby cymaddux31 » Tue Mar 11, 2008 3:34 am

[quote:35c24f9a10="River Field View"]I will echo the Tommy John setiment.

Barry Larkin looks like more than a $2 million card, but maybe I am missing some of his flaws, or maybe its just that high quality middle infielders are in short supply. Dickie Thon also seems cheap at $1.3 mill, even with a 2 injury rating. But seeing their cards makes me more motivated not to go cheap at ss.[/quote:35c24f9a10]

Larkin is just under 2 mil already, WTF are you talking about?

Pendelton/Chambliss/cox

Postby RICHARDMILTER » Tue Mar 11, 2008 3:49 pm

Pendelton struck me right away. Compare him and his price to Dicky Scholfield at over 5 million. Granted Dicky is a 1 at SS. But Pendleton is a 1 at 3B and an A stealer for 670,000, WOW! I think Danny Cox is under priced. Chris Chambliss is a bargain! There are others!

Some of the most over priced are Charlie Hough,Von Hayes(because he plays so many positions they charge more),Lee Mazelli(not much power, not much anything, except walks),Greg Swindell,and I am sure you all know there are many others! Keep the lists coming!
