If 1B is your weakness, this is what I propose.<br /><br />Grab Carlos Pena off waivers from the Cubs.<br /><br />But Carlos is another big whiffin' LH, right? Well, yes, he is. And while his numbers have been in decline since his first season in Tampa five years ago, they are still solid (this season .221 / 21 HR / 59 RBI / .790 OPS).<br /><br />Now, while the BA is nothing to get excited about, and the Tribe doesn't really seem to be in need of another LH hitter, they are in need of two things -- someone who can hit and someone who can defend at 1B.<br /><br />Pena has a lifetime OBP over .350 and has won a Gold Glove. He certainly brings more of a threat to your lineup than LaPorta.<br /><br />But here's the telling point for me -- Pena's numbers versus RHP this season? In 273 ABs, it goes like this: .253 AVE / .378 OBP / .873 OPS with 17 HR and 46 RBI.<br /><br />That, my friends, is a hitter, who just happens to play a stellar 1B, and who is very familiar with AL pitching and ballparks, and who happens to have experience the post season recently. And while his numbers are awful versus LHP, just sit him down, play Santana at 1B and catch Marson, as somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of MLB pitching is LH.<br /><br />What would Pena cost? I wouldn't think much, and his LHedness wouldn't be a problem past this year because he's a FA.He'd be worth the move, as long as you don't give up much to get him. But down the stretch he'd make this lineup which is coming on pretty formidable.Halifaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712626480683595819noreply@blogger.com
