[IBL] Think Long About These PAD Players...

[Nelson Lu]

1-2 of these players have to go — sometime within the next 10 months.  And I do think they are all very valuable and certainly will not go for cheap. Talk to me if interested.  We’re looking for next year’s CF, RF, C, 3B, or SP.

				This year card vs. LHP	vs. RHP		Next year MLB so far
Shin-Shoo Choo CF/lf		85/212/119/Pr		113/258/197/Vg	.251/.380/.391
Josh Hamilton RF/lf/cf		74/89/164/Av		110/146/203/Vg	.327/.405/.480
Lucas Duda LF/1B		58/162/128/Av		75/189/165/Ex	.250/.346/.459
Adam LaRoche 1B			60/104/118/Av		75/149/158/Vg	.305/.418/.477
Mike Napoli 1B			88/173/178/Ex		80/173/170/Vg	.268/.383/.431

Pitching-wise, I’d listen to offers for Andy Pettitte - acquired with the intent that he’d round out our rotation this year and this year only, and it doesn’t look like we’re going anywhere.  I paid a #3 for him, and won’t be looking to get anything close to that.  Wonderful vs. LH (56/72/95) while respectable vs. RH (131/157/183), and can certainly eat innings — and as he is retiring, you can opt to use him as a reliever.

I’d also listen to offers for Tommy Hunter.  Dreadful year in Baltimore so far, but looks fine upon return from injury.  He won’t be as cheap.  Very, very good vs. RH (66/66/83) while still good vs. LH - except against power-hitters (114/114/203, with that 203 coming mostly from 84 DFs as he has no 2Bs).

Other than these folks, no Devil is really untradable for the right deal - that’s our philosophy.  Inquire within.
