I like Brouhard and Piniella but because you said singles park I would think Shano would be the choice.

Other names to consider are the .90 Hugh Duffy and Solly Hemus.

In Forbes '57, straight dope from Adrian's website:

BROUHARD

Ave = .424 OBP = .450 SLG = .733 OPS = 1.183
RC/27 = 15.5 BR = 17.2 NERP = 26.1

NIEMAN

Ave = .345 OBP = .473 SLG = .627 OPS = 1.100
RC/27 = 12.2 BR = 14.4 NERP = 23.3

S COLLINS

Ave = .501 OBP = .529 SLG = .703 OPS = 1.232
RC/27 = 20.1 BR = 19.7 NERP = 27.7

PINIELLA

Ave = .401 OBP = .406 SLG = .670 OPS = 1.076
RC/27 = 12.3 BR = 13.4 NERP = 23.1

J ALOU

Ave = .553 OBP = .553 SLG = .627 OPS = 1.180
RC/27 = 21.0 BR = 18.5 NERP = 25.9

T PHILLIPS

Ave = .340 OBP = .566 SLG = .587 OPS = 1.153
RC/27 = 13.6 BR = 17.3 NERP = 24.9

CARDENAL

Ave = .491 OBP = .548 SLG = .522 OPS = 1.070
RC/27 = 15.2 BR = 14.8 NERP = 23.6

If those are my choices Jesus is just alright by me. Although I think Gene Clines is a better choice

For $.52, Cardenas has done well for me.

I would second the Gene Clines motion.

Shano tends to me my guy in singles parks. I would use Brouhard in a power park. If money is short, I would go with Cardenal in a singles park. Pinella is a good cheap option in a power park. If none of these is available, anyone else on the list is a good choice.

Also, Shano can give you a reasonable RF, LF, or 1B, so I've used him in a positional platoon several times.

Not sure why I am promoting my favorites, though.... :?:
