I am confused, when was this written?. Trade Pena when he starts hitting? He has 11 HRs to lead the AL and 28 RBIs, good for 3rd in the AL. Not to mention he is hitting at .267, which is 15 points above his career average. Just how much more hitting would you expect him to do before he ‘starts’?

You’re absolutely right, joeymitch. I fixed it. My computer (and my stats database) been down over the past week or so, and I had to check stats somewhere else. I’m not sure why I remember seeing that Pena wasn’t doing well. Maybe I clicked on someone like Brayan Pena’s page and only gave it a quick glance. I even knew that Carlos Pena was doing well, but it must have slipped my mind putting the article together so late. Sorry, and thanks for the catch.

If he trades Victorino his only real source of steals is Kemp. He has a ton of power but very little speed. Cruz will steal a few bags but not close to the number that Victorino will. I would recommend trying to upgrade SS and 3B, either of which Young qualifies for, but I’d trade Cruz or Pena or Lee before I’d trade Victorino.

note to self: maybe this column isn’t particularly useful after all.
