Chavez does well versus right-handed pitchers. He his .299 with a .366 OBP and a .545 slugging. Against lefties he did not do as well .152 AVG, .231 OBP, and a .152 last year. For his career .275, .356 OBP, and a .501 SLG. He needs a platoon partner and my suggestion is Jeff Keppinger.
Keppinger is a free-agent, which is great for the Yankees since they don't have many trade chips. He also should come at a relatively cheap price, 2012 salary was 1.52 million, while posting a 2.8 WAR. His slash line last year was .376 / .402 / .521 vs left-handed pitchers. .302 / .352 / .403 vs righties. For his career he has a slash line of .333 / .376 / .487 against lefties.
Keppinger also provides some position flexibility with his ability to play short and second base.
you gotta do some research before you write the article. last year the yankees won the bidding on the japanese 3b: hiroyuki nakajima. they reach an agreement with him last year. but looks like the A's are also taking a long look at him.
ReplyDeleteWTF are you talking about Ben. I never even heard of that dude. I think you made that up. By the way, you need to proofread before you post.
