How about Heilman for X. Nady?

That is a relief. Even though I'm not a fan of Delgado, losing him for an extended period of time with be a big blow to the team.Originally posted by The Fonz View PostComment

Well, it seems as though Delgado is more healthy than we thought...but still, I think Nady would still be a very good option anyway (not necessarily for Heilman, but someone else). Since Nady owns a career .320/.390/.477 line against lefties, he could platoon with either Church in RF or Delgado at 1B (whoever is struggling more against lefties).Originally posted by Mr. Met View PostHow about Heilman for X.

Here are some stats to consider in terms of finding a good 1B/OF platoon partner for Delgado and Church...
(last 3 seasons lefty splits...)
Delgado: .243 BA, .286 OBP (in 476 AB, 537 PA)
Church: .258 BA, .324 OBP (in 197 AB, 227 PA)
Any other options you guys can think of besides Nady who would be a top-notch platoon option?Comment

The Pirates aren't gonna throw in a reliever in a Heilman-Nady deal. If anything they'd want more."I'm happy for [Edwin Encarnacion] because this guy bleeds internally, big-time" -Dusty Baker

Not quite sure about that, but I wouldn't want Kim as an add-in...Originally posted by NYMets523 View PostComment

What we need is a right-handed stick that is capable in LF, RF & 1B. Nady is the perfect solution but the Pirates aren't about to give away one of the few 'stars' that they have for the proverbial bag of balls.Comment
