You trade Lawton's on-base percentage and average for Clark's power. It doesn't hurt that Lawton stole 23 bags last year to Clark's zero. I also shuddered at the thought of Pittsburgh signing perennial fantasy whipping boy Derek Bell and nearly ensuring another year of at least 400 at-bats for Bell. Bell hit .266 with 18 home runs and 69 RBIs last season. Bell's woefully mediocre .344 on-base percentage and .425 slugging percentage makes him a dime a dozen outfielder.
Someone tell the Pirates.
Every number I see from Hampton convinces me that he is possibly the biggest waste of money this offseason. He is, at best, a 15-win type pitcher. He is neither dominant nor precise and crafty. Colorado pitcher Pedro Astacio . Hampton doesn't strike out many at 6.3 per nine innings.
