ESPN Rates Outfielders up for Trade
Sorry can't link to this, its an ESPN Insider Story. And to say that he is just "shaky" in the baserunning area is being a little too kind if you ask me.
Matt Lawton, Pirates
Pluses: Lawton has a .383 on-base percentage out of the leadoff spot. He has reached base 59 times by walk or hit-by-pitch this season and struck out only 51 times. He has also shown some pop in the No. 1 spot, with 10 homers and 26 doubles.
Minuses: Lawton is a shaky baserunner (10 stolen bases in 19 attempts) and a below-average defensive player who appears to be regressing at age 33. He also makes $7.75 million, and not a lot of teams are anxious to assume that load.
