Combine that with the fact that they now have a platoon-friendly manager and I can't imagine that we'll be seeing him in the lineup vs. very many left-handers.<br /><br />Also interesting to note that Gibby used Lind very sparingly against LHP the last time he managed him, in 2006-2008.

He was s a 280/345/435 hitter against LHP last yearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
