Early in the season, he was looking as bad as he was last season. Being one of those guys likely on the trade block for Pittsburgh, it wasn't helping his case. Nady has been hot all season, upping his value considerably. Now Bay has been in a groove, looking much like the old perennial allstar the pirates once had.
Now what do you think the pirates could get for him or Nady if they do decide to actually move them at some point this season? Wouldn't now be the best time, perhaps they're peaking and it's a sell high?
Bay currently has an OBP over .400, 13 homeruns, and 42 walks (to 43 strikeouts).
Unfortunately, Adam LaRoche still sucks.
