Lefty vs Righty

[Banedon]

“I remember when we signed DeRosa [on Nov. 14, 2006] and there was more second-guessing about that than anything,” Hendry said. “Mark’s a terrific guy and he was a good player for us. But the thinking in the winter was that we already had five right-handed hitters penciled in that weren’t going anywhere. And we were concerned with how [Kosuke] Fukudome was going to come back [as a left-handed power hitter]. … If he hadn’t come back well and we kept Mark, we were probably looking at seven out of eight right-handed hitters every day in the lineup. Then we would have that issue again.”

 

“Nobody likes to lose a guy like [DeRosa],” said Hendry. “But there wasn’t anywhere else to get left-handed, you know.

 

 

 

 

"We won 97 games two years ago with a lineup that was predominantly right-handed," he said.

God. If only he wasn't so stupid and thought that last offseason they wouldn't have signed bradley and encouraged him to bat lefty when he was a better RIGHT HANDED hitter in the first place.

The irony is that Byrd has hit righties and lefties basically the same for his career, and hit significantly better against righties last year.
