I always like to have 1 big bat on a small ball team.

You need someone to move those guys around the basepaths and when you play in some hitting parks.

That being said,

You have some nice hitters on your squad, but you are also an injury or 2 or 3 from getting ugly.

C- I don't like Santana here. Sure he has the OB, but he's kinda slow and slanted to the left. His BPHR's vs RH's will be outs in Petco as well. I'd prefer:
maybe a Posey/Cervelli combo?

1B- Murph can hit, but he's injury prone. You would need a good backup for him.
2B- Kendrick's best season as a pro, but he never has the OB. I guess if nobody else is there, he'll suffice.
SS- Reyes is fine here, no complaints... :)
3B- Young has a great bat, but bad D. You "could" try him @ 2B.
OF- I like your OF of Bonifacio/Bourn and Johnson. :)

Who's available @ 3B?

Thanks for the help.
C- Posey is taken, but cervelli is available. Jose Molina, Ruiz, Hundly, Ianetta, Snider, Ramos, Rus Martin are some of the C's available
3B- Lawrie, Hannahan, A-rod, Zimm, Headley are the top available 3B's that might fit. Betemit and Wright are also available

or...

move Boni to 3B and find another OF...plenty of cheap single hitting OF's with speed that would fit Petco fine

but Viz is correct...you need a guy that can take anyone deep at anytime

lawrie would be my bet from what you posted

[lev.cohen]

These are my overall choices for dropping kendrick (i just freed up some cash):
Lawrie, Holliday, Franceour, Markakis, Jennings, Swisher.. who would you pick up?

[visick]

Of that bunch, I like Lawrie.

And Holliday

But both can go down for 15 games too...

[lev.cohen]

[quote:6ac040b36c="socalchiro"]Of that bunch, I like Holliday.[/quote:6ac040b36c]

That's what i was thinking (highest OB).. I just am worried about how many BPHR he has.

[visick]

Sorry, I didn't see Lawrie.

I DO like them both...

[visick]

I like the Snyder/Cervelli combo... :)
