Cheap Lefty Killers <50K

Looking for a few good (cheap) Lefty killers.

Here's what I've found so far, all RHB, stats are vs L:

McCutchen -> Cost ~48KPP, BABIP 167, POW 117, EYE 99
Puckett -> Cost ~31KPP, BABIP 150, POW 128, EYE 49
Garciaparra -> Cost: ~32KPP, BABIP 138, POW 81, EYE 87

McCutchen has been dominant in my vsL lineups in LD, hitting around .290 consistently and +10 HR, only starting vsL with a total of ~280 AB each season.

Carew has a great vsL BABIP, but he's a LHB so I didn't add him to the list. Don't see him perform up to Cutch's standards, prob because LHPs pitch better to LHBs.

True. Carew takes a nosedive against lefties in Diamond because there are so many good ones. At Gold and below, he still rakes. Super cheap option as a Carew platoon mate is Knoblauch. Very similar but right-handed.

Was wondering why his price crashed.
