where the frak am i supposed to bat him in the order to minimize all his DP chances (other than lead off)?

or should i just say screw it settle on weaver for 3b and spend the 3 mil to upgrade a SPer?

Are you willing to give up defense to eliminate the DP chances?
If so, then look at 6.03 Evans at 3b. A very different kind of hitter, but 31 fewer GbA chances vs RHP and none vs LHP.

That said, Buck Weaver is a fine option.

Or there's always Heinie Groh.

What about Bill Madlock? Kell does have a lot of double plays.

Is Pie available? or you could trade down Radatz to get Boggs.

Cheaper guy who will hit as well as Kell for half the price; Red Smith.

thanks for all the ideas guys. i really appreciate it. now on to your suggestions.

evans - never really seemed like an option for a small ball team to me before. am i crazy?
boggs - taken
pie - f/a
groh - thought about him...
smith - i totally forgot about this guy. he has never really performed for me in the past so i stopped using him.
matlock - never used him in all these years. is he an good on a small ball team?

keep 'em coming...

Doubles and double plays, that's the ticket!
