Free Agent Comparison...Cuddyer, Pena and Ramirez


The Brewers' lineup is set beyond first base and third base right now. They could go with McGehee/Green at 3rd, or McGehee/Gamel at first...so I thought I'd look at some options, to see how they compare.

 

I have no idea what any of these guys would cost, and I have no idea if team management has any interest in any of them beyond Aramis.

 

Three year averages, with 2012 age...

 

Cuddyer - 22 HR, .277 average, .807 OPS, 1.7 WAR, age 33, 2011 Salary - 10.5M

 

Pena - 32 HR, .216 average, .815 OPS, 1.7 WAR, age 34, 2011 Salary - $9,959,996

 

Ramirez - 22 HR, .288 average, .840 OPS, 1.3 WAR, age 34, 2011 Salary - 14.6M

I want no part of Cuddyer or Pena. Ramirez, I have some interest in, but that is starting to cool somewhat. I really worry about his defense and motivation, to the point I'd only give him a two year deal. This way, you'd be sure he'd be playing for a contract 50% of the time and you wouldn't have to worry as much about a shift to 1B when his defense goes from bad to unacceptable.

Cuddyer has a 3 year $24 million offer from the Twins. That is probably the minimum he'll get.
