Trade Targets: Second Base...Saturday Follow-Up

A post over at FanHome sparked me to go a little further with yesterday's trade targets post. While OBP, SLG, ISO, and LD% are good indicators of performance, another good tool to use is the Baseball Prospectus' EqA, especially when comparing minor leaguers to major leaguers. A thorough definition of EqA can be found here. It's basically a simple way to condense a bunch of numbers into a recognizable statistic. A .260 EqA is an average player.
