Chad Pinder, 3B, Oakland Athletics

Price: $2,500

Back to the A's and that matchup with John Means, Chad Pinder gets a nice boost against lefties.

Last year he tagged southpaws for a .361 wOBA on a huge 55.9% hard-hit rate over 152 plate appearances.

That was the biggest sample we've seen from him so far, and if we expand our view to his career averages in that split, we still see a 47.6% hard-hit rate, 36.7% fly-ball rate, .350 wOBA and .186 ISO over 295 plate appearances.

Pinder's floor is still fairly low thanks to a 26.1% strikeout rate, but getting that level of power and production in the middle of the order for such a well-positioned offense is an easy value spot.
