Willingham: a Saber-friendly acquisition

+

A team with a slightly pitcher friendly ballpark, but one which gives a significant advantage to right-handed batters over left-handed batters is pursuing Willingham. Josh started pulling most of his fly balls to left field last year, and increased his FB distance significantly. If those trends persist, it could result in a significant HR increase for the new team. Too bad that team is the saber-friendly Rays, and not a team with a similar need and ballpark.
