The way Mora has hit all year, no way he's being platooned. I think we're gonna have to trade either Roberts or Hairston to make room in the IF. Newhan, as good as he's been, will be a bench warmer once we all get healthy.

If anyone is traded it will probably be Hairston, he has already publicly expressed his unhappiness about his role as a Utility player and does not like switching from 2B to the OF on a game to game basis. If Newhan is willing to play the role of super Utility man then Hairston will be the one to go.

Roberts will probably be more attractive though b/c he's cheaper and a switch hitter. if we trade roberts, then hairston can just go back to 2b and not be a utility player.

But you want to keep the player that is producing. That would mean keeping Roberts.

Roberts .263 BA, .338 OBP, .355 SLG
Hairston .300 BA, .380 OBP, .386 SLG

<hr /></blockquote>

Roberts- 2 HR/28 RBI/22 SB (299 AB's)

Hairston - 1 HR/16 RBI/11 SB (145 AB's)

Roberts has twice as many AB's, so lets just double Hairston's stats. When you do that (2/32/22) they come out almost dead even. Then you look at the averages posted above. You have to factor in the idea that Hairston's will drop the more AB's he gets. My assumption is that they're dead even. So trading either one of them wouldn't make a huge difference. Personally, I keep Roberts. He's younger and seems more like an Eckstein-esque fire plug type player. Plus I would think Hairston has more trade value. I would thikn a team like St. Louis would love to have either one, and they have some young pitching that a team like Baltimore needs.
