2006 backup for Chipper Jones

[Valen]

Asked for Arod, got Chipper and Mora. Leaning toward going with Mora at third. But Chipper has an interesting card except for the injury risk. If I stay with Chipper who would be a good cheap backup for him? I don't want to spend much since 6 mil would be committed to Chipper. But the inevitable injury could kill me if the backup is too useless.

Good backup 3B options for less than 1m are:

Gomez
Robles
Cintron
Feliz
Nunez

Really cheap ones would include:

Bobby Hill
Teahen
Alfonzo
Deivi Cruz

You can always get a guy like Gomez or Mackowiack or both to be multi-use backups who can take over at third when Chipper inevitably goes down. You won't lose anything defensively since Chipper's lousy anyway.

4e8 is actually not lousy at 3b where the e number is vastly more important than the range.
