Look who's in the lineup (again)

This may seem redundant, but unfortunately, Lloyd didn't get a lightning bolt of common sense last night. He's still playing Wigginton against Pettitte today. I know this is redudant, but Bobby Hill is a lifetime .257 hitter from the left side of the plate and a .297 hitter from the right side of the plate (look, it's true, it's right here). The sample size as a right handed hitter is smaller, but that's because LLOYD WON'T PLAY HIM AGAINST LEFTIES! Honestly, anything at all is better against a left handed pitcher than Ty Wigginton. HE'S HITTING .143 THIS YEAR!!! Even Orlando Merced, the worst switch hitter in history, could hit .143 from the right side of the plate (when I find his career splits, I'll link to them, but take my word for it, Merced was so bad from the right side of the plate as a switch hitter that about 5 years into his career he quit switch hitting and just went all lefty all the time).
