I don't really care about his platoon-protected numbers. He hasn't been good at all. the more i hear from you, the more i hate you Seriously. Only one-fourth of MLB pitchers are left-handed these days. Even if he's a platoon player in the near term, its by far the strong side of the platoon. His other weakness is addressed when a LOOGY comes in to face him, its usually about the time you're wanting to replace him for defense anyway. He's not what we thought he was (right now) but he's far from worthless.
