Cheap Hitting

CHEAP HITTING

Corey Hart – has 10-10 or better potential. Had 17 HR – 31 SB in AAA
So Taguchi – went 8 HR-11 SB last year. Could do similar
Marlon Byrd – if gets AB’s could be 8-10 HR and SB
Shane Victorino – 5-8+ HR and SB potential
Kaz Matsui – has HR/SB potential, just never has lived up to it
Aaron Miles – in the running for playing time in MI in StLouis

CHEAP STEALS

Brandon Watson – could win the starting CF job. Has 10-20 SB potential
Hector Luna – will be utility, but lose AB’s to Spivey and Miles. Look for 10+ SB
Damien Jackson – routinely gets 10-15 SB
Endy Chavez – never lived up to potential, but still could get 10+ SB
Cesar Izturis - when healthy, needs AB’s, but is behind Nomar, Furcal, and Kent. Still has 10+ SB potential
Jeff Davanon – has always had speed with 10 SB potential in limited AB’s
Bernie Castro – another fast Wash guy, will back up Vidro
Eric Young – not young. Is fast, but has to play and stay healthy
Reggie Abercrombie – starting CF, unsure if can hit
Ellison - #5 OF, so won’t get many AB’s

CHEAP HR’s

Corey Hart – see above
Kelly Johnson – 10 HR, in Atlanta OF rotation
Mike Lamb – 10 HR potential
Adrian Gonzalez – 8-10 HR if gets AB’s, has potential for future
Jason Werth – 10-10 guy, more if healthy
Eli Marrero – Bave not as good, but can get 10 HR
Ricky Ledee – cheap HR’s
Rich Aurilia – behind Freel and Womack for AB’s
Ben Johnson – young guy in SD
Todd Linden - #6 OF, no AB’s if still in SF
