Jed Lowrie and Justin Upton immediately jump to mind in the AL. Also, we tend to so discount most players over 30 that Alex Gordon's return to meh performance probably is getting some team a tiny profit.

How many hitters well into their 30s are turning a profit this year? I'm sure there are a few, but are we back to the mid- to late-20s as peak time in a career with a significant fall off thereafter?

Kinsler wishes he had a .244 babip this year. Anyone thinking buy low here?

Ian Kinsler (2B) ANA - Mar. 13
Kinsler went 2-for-3 with a home run and a pair of runs scored in Monday's spring
win over the Reds.
ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Kinsler has been serving as the Angels' leadoff hitter this
spring, a role that he will likely fill once the games begin to count. The 35-year-old could post strong run totals hitting in front of Mike Trout and Co. after averaging 100.3 runs per season over his last four years in Detroit. Kinsler's .236 batting average in 2017 was anchored down by an abnormally-low .244 BABIP, so we could see an increase in that department.

Fell well below the league average True Average and is now exactly the league average in Sprint Speed at 27.0 feet per second.
Fellow travelers include Manny Machado, Yuli Gurriel, Jake Lamb and Ryan Zimmerman on the Statcast leaderboard.

Bryan Grosnick at BP today:
The trade for Kinsler turns an old nemesis into a new friend–during his years with the Rangers and Tigers, he hit .280/.360/.481 against the Angels in about one full season’s worth of plate appearances. Though he’s no longer the offensive threat he once was, he’s still pretty good. Last season was definitely a down year, as his True Average (.240) fell substantially below the league average (.260) for the first time in his career. Kinsler still hit for a little power, but his BABIP and batting average took a nosedive. Going into his age-36 season, you may want to expect a rebound, but it’s silly to think he’ll break off another peak-level offensive showing this deep into his career.

It's important to remember that the Tigers also got lightly regarded prospects for JD Martinez, who was the best power hitter on the trade market last season. He didn't even get a top prospect for Verlander, although two of them have made top 20 lists for the Astros - they weren't near the top. Seems Avila only acquires lightly regarded prospects.
Dec 16 '17
Traded to the Angels for a couple of lightly regarded prospects (Troy Montgomery and Wilkel Hernandez).
