Pie had best not be starting against a lefty, much less one who's good enough to reach the majors. Pie can't even handle minor league lefties. why is he here than? Jock cant hit lefties, if Pie isnt going to start against lefties there is no reason to have Pie here to be a defensive sub and pinch runner. Jacque can't hit lefties consistently but he has gotten some hits against LHP. I wouldn't start Pie against a ML lefty at this point. I wouldn't start Jones against a high school lefty. He is pretty much the definition of futility vs. LHP, and has been for his entire career. Also, if the Cubs want to pump up Jacque's stats to increase his marketability then it would be highly advisable to have him face righties exclusively. He hit .234 against LHP last year and .228 for his career. Pie can't do better than that right now (and that was my point). In 12 ABs this season Jacque's hit .250 against LHP. Lou knows he doesn't hit them consistently, which is why he's so low in the lineup.
