Marlon Anderson Out Two Months For Bone Chip Surgery
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.Also via AP.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.
