Now that the Bucs have five first basemen on the active roster, I guess it makes sense to DFA the only first baseman who can hit for any kind of average. Pedro > Ike > Gaby > Lambo > T. Sanchez? They really need to do something about that corner.

.264 at AAA is hitting for average?

It was a tongue-and-cheek comment, but I do have my doubts that none of Gaby, Ike, or Pedro could hit .264 even in AAA.

You put too much value in straight-up average. Pedro is not the top producer among those by a long shot, either. Ike and Gaby have much better OB%, fielding and are close enough on slugging because El Whiffo’s contact rate is still that bad.

I don’t actually; the comment was really more of a shot at the inability of the Pirates’ major league first baseman to hit with any kind of consistency. I’m hoping w/ Polanco up tomorrow, that Lambo gets more ABs at 1B ’til Pedro’s back.
