These are all outfielders. Three of them are on the Phillies' roster. Two have been mentioned as possible trade targets for the Phillies.
| Age | Bats | BA | OBP | SLG | OPS | OPS+ | |
| A | 27 | R | .232 | .303 | .449 | .752 | 100 |
| B | 29 | R | .258 | .329 | .436 | .765 | 104 |
| C | 28 | R | .288 | .336 | .480 | .816 | 116 |
| D | 27 | L | .270 | .314 | .408 | .723 | 90 |
| E | 38 | L | .267 | .338 | .431 | .768 | 106 |
For E, which (no surprise) is Raul Ibanez, it's his 2010-2011 combined stats.
For all the rest, it's their career line:
A: John Mayberry Jr
B: Ben Francisco
D: Nate Shierholtz, who as a lefty, is not a great candidate, even if he could hit, which he can't
C: Hunter Pence. He had a big rookie year in 2007 (.899 OPS) and in the four years since then his OPS has averaged .797 (OPS+ 113).
So is he an improvement over Francisco, Ibanez, and Mayberry? Probably.
Is he enough of an improvement to be in this proposed trade? No.
