Free agent-to-be Ferdinand *Puttifoot has inflated his asking price over the past 30 days by winning the Shire Conference Batter of the Month.
In September, the 39-year-old Bywater third baseman hit .409 with 9 home runs and 21 RBIs.
If he keeps putting numbers like that up, he could be hauling in a big wad of cash at this time next year.
*Puttifoot is hitting .309 this year with 52 home runs, 118 RBIs and 118 runs scored. He has 172 hits in 556 at-bats, 92 walks and a .409 on-base percentage. *Puttifoot has played in 152 games.
