We're a pretty defensively

talented team and rely on that quite a bit. P-Mac makes me nervous in LF.

I've seen some defensive stats

that say PMac is the best LF in the majors. SSS probably, but it means he’s been doing well.

Regardless

He is one of the best hitters on the team by VORP and EqA, it might be worth sacrificing some D in LF.

by osbug on Jun 12, 2008 1:32 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

108 OPS+

Barely above average. Of course there are only 5 players on the team who’s OPS+ is 100 or higher

.280ish EqA

He is is not so bad at LF that we can afford to suffer offensively.

I think's it's more...

That they think Huber should be able to hit lefties better. Even if he had a 100 OPS+ vs lefties, you’d still want to platoon him with a guy who hits 110+ vs lefties. But of course, the perceptions may not match the realities.

Black

has been pretty religious with the whole righty vs. lefty thing. It’s dumb. As much as I don’t care for McAnulty, I agree with you – if he’s playing the best of the LFs right now, he should be playing every day.

Well

To be fair, it’s not a theory it’s just common sense. The problem lies in Managers doing this just by seeing that a guy bats left or right handed instead of thinking critically about the situation. We should check how BB is doing this after he wakes up from his nap.
