Well, it was actually Fred this time who posted that. But I would have if I had been awake then, so I can see why you thought it was me :D Definitely not a fan of Cedeno starting in this spot. Fukudome has better numbers against left-handers, the Cubs are better defensively with him on the field (I'd rather have Fukudome and DeRosa at RF and 2B than DeRosa and Cedeno). Plus, Fukudome has so little confidence against left-handers normally that he is very patient against them, seeing 4.58 pitches per plate appearance compared to Cedeno's 3.80 against left-handers. Against a pitcher like Sabathia, even that little difference could help. It's not really something that can be seen as winning or losing the game for the Cubs though, and it does help that the lineup is well thought out otherwise. Good call, sorry Fred! And Daingerfield thought HE got no respect !! :wink:

Fascinating article. Thanx, TT !!

Well..... that settles it, then !! http://njsr.org/pics/albums/userpics/10036/Cubs%20W%20Flag.jpg

No, "everybody" is not starting to panic. I'm not even close to panicking. If you can keep a cool head when everyone else around you is losing theirs....... you obviously don't understand what is going on !!! :wink:

If it were up to me, I'd leave Fukudome in. All he seems to lose against the left handers is SLG...... Fukudome AB R H 2b 3b HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS BABIP P/PA IsoD RBI% vs Left 86 13 24 5 1 0 10 16 19 0.279 0.385 0.360 0.745 0.358 4.57 0.106 0.179 vs Right 271 48 75 14 1 7 26 45 59 0.277 0.382 0.413 0.795 0.332 4.27 0.105 0.154 All pitchers 357 61 99 19 2 7 36 61 78 0.277 0.382 0.401 0.783 0.338 4.34 0.105 0.162 While I don't mean to minimize the importance of SLG, in this particular case, we're considering trading Fukudome in the lineup for Cedeno. Now, Ronny's splits vs. Lefthander look a whole lot worse....... Cedeno AB R H 2b 3b HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS BABIP P/PA IsoD RBI% vs Left 73 5 19 4 0 1 8 6 12 0.260 0.316 0.356 0.673 0.300 3.80 0.056 0.132 vs Right 68 17 20 4 0 1 13 7 17 0.294 0.368 0.397 0.765 0.380 3.86 0.074 0.267 All pitchers 141 22 39 8 0 2 21 13 29 0.277 0.342 0.376 0.718 0.336 3.83 0.065 0.194 So, in my mind, if it's a choice between Fukudome & Cedeno vs. the tough lefty...... I'm going Fukudome.
