DeWon brought up an interesting stat about the percentage of ab's with the platoon advantage. The Cubs were last in all of baseball with only 47% of their ab's with the platoon advantage. Tampa Bay had the best rate at 69%. I think this had a lot to do with with both the Bradley and Miles signings, as well as the DeRosa trade. Against right handers we should always be able to have three quality left handed bats in the lineup, and eight quality bats in the lineup against lefties.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Interesting stat. Didn't we lead the majors in runs scored last year?
I know that the platoon advantage is a real stat...maybe we'll score even more this year.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
