J. Saltalamacchia 64.8 RC/650 .188 BAVG .318 OBP .346 SLG .664 OPS 6.7 PA/BB

C. McGehee 61.5 RC/650 .270 BAVG .325 OBP .341 SLG .666 OPS 13.3 PA/BB

A. Romine 46.5 RC/650 .221 BAVG .280 OBP .290 SLG .570 OPS 15.0 PA/BB


J. McCann 35.5 RC/650 .203 BAVG .244 OBP .257 SLG .501 OPS 21.6 PA/BB


Personally, I would rather see more of Collins than of Aviles. Anytime Maybin, McCann, Iglesias and Romine/Aviles are in the starting lineup together against a RHP we are towing a long road. Even just three is enough that the other 6 have to really shine.

Since 2013 Collins has had about 119 away AB's and walked 8 times. Way too small of a sample size to even compare him to anybody else.

I am not a fan of Inciarte. Good defensively, but he doesn't walk a lot nor hit lefties. His power is similar to Iglesias. He would be a good bench/4th OFer guy. That is it.
