Trade aftermath: Betemit to Yanks
Posted by Derek Carty at 8:02pm
This will be the last deadline trade I'll look at, as it's the last one that
has some semi-serious fantasy impact. Most of the smaller trades will be
looked at in this week's Waiver Wire.
Yankees get: 2B/3B/SS Wilson Betemit
Dodgers get: RP Scott Proctor
Quick outlook: Betemit gains a little value. Proctor gains value.
Indirectly affected: Melky Cabrera loses value.
Analysis:
It will be interesting to see how the Yankees use Betemit. It certainly won't
be at third. I hear they already have a guy over there who's pretty good. His
name's Alex something or other. I've also heard he sucks, though... mostly
from Yankee fans. I'm not sure what to believe. Digs at the stupidity of
certain Yankees fans aside, Betemit probably has only a spot at first. How
much he plays, though, is still up in the air.
However the Yankees use him, he'll likely get more at-bats than he was
getting with the Dodgers recently. When Jason Giambi comes back, the Yankees
will be forced to either play Johnny Damon at first or bench Melky Cabrera
and play Betemit. They could also use a combination of those options.
So who should they play? Melky is the better contact hitter, but Betemit has
a 17% walk rate so far and is a much better power hitter. He's hit seven home
runs past 399 true feet, according to HitTracker. One went 444 true feet.
Melky, on the other hand, has yet to hit one past 400 feet. Betemit also has
the higher fly ball rate—41% to 27%. Of course, Betemit was hitting in the
NL and Melky the AL, but I think the Yanks would be better off playing
Betemit. What they actually do is yet to be seen.
As far as Betemit's batting average, I think it is likely to come up given
his 17% walk rate (although that is likely to see some regression) and low
.268 BABIP. He's only hit 15% line drives this year, but seeing as it was 25%
and 21% in 2005 and 2006, there is room for improvement. His 70% contact rate
will prevent him from hitting for a high average, but a .270 batting average
wouldn't be out of the question. Batting for the Yanks would give him some
nice RBI and Run opportunities.
If Betemit falls into some regular playing time, he could be owned in 14-team
mixed leagues. He should also be considered in 10 and owned in 12 and 14-team
AL-only leagues.
Proctor moves to a weaker league, although he still shouldn't really be
owned. He gets very few ground balls and has shown poor control this year. He
doesn't strike out many batters for a reliever, either.
