Baseball Prospectus suggests a platoon partner for Jones

[frostwyrm]

I know it's been pointed out before, but with the unbalanced schedule, if Jones doesn't sit vs lefties, the Cubs could be in for some painful numbers from RF.

 

The Reds have three left-handed starters.

The Astros have two left-handed starters.

The Brewers have two left-handed starters.

The Pirates have three left-handed starters.

The Cards, thank goodness, only have one lefty starter.

 

If Dusty takes a liking to Grissom Jones might sit vs. most LHP's. That would be one of the rare cases when Dusty's fondness for the elderly actually helps the Cubs.

 

As long as he isn't the second coming of Lenny Harris. He made Michael Jordan look like a decent hitter.

 

As a starter Harris was the worst baseball player I have ever seen.
