Freddy Sanchez has worked his way back above .300

I've been watching this guy since i let him go back when he was hitting around .250. Its great to see him hitting the ball well now, but even with him hitting well no one is ever on base for him to get any RBI's or get him to home plate. I'm curious what kind of impact trades might make to his value if they get some better hitters in the lineup and raise the teams on-base percentage. I have heard many trade talks, but with all the fan/management stuff there might be some action in the trade market to make an impact.

Well, I can tell you with pretty high confidence that the Pirates won't be adding any impact players to their line-up this summer. Hopefully, the Pirates will settle on the top of their line-up (Bautista's been solid) and Freddy will get some more RBIs. His runs scored should continue to increase now that LaRoche is hitting better.
