Marlon Anderson Out Two Months For Bone Chip Surgery

Marlon Anderson will miss at least two months due to surgery to remove bone chips on his elbow.
The Dodgers will procede [sic] for now with Wilson Betemit, an alleged switch hitter who nevertheless is 1 for 15 this season from the right side, as the only left-handed bat on their bench.

Not to worry, manager Grady Little said.

"There are a lot of times when having a left-handed hitter against a right-handed pitcher may not be as good as maybe having another right-handed hitter against a right-handed pitcher," Little said. "It's not etched in stone, even if you have that (left-handed hitter) available. Everybody knows what Olmedo Saenz (a right-handed hitter) is capable of doing, and it doesn't matter how a guy is throwing."

That's a nice thought on Little's part, but Saenz is hitting .429 (3 for 7) this season against lefties and .143 (2 for 14) against righties.
