Hopefully if that's the case and the trend continues he'll be used against tough lefties more so than Cotts.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Probably from me here... I've posted those numbers a few times and the numbers of the rest of our right-handers against lefties, which are all very good except for Vizcaino(and Lou realizes this). Shark's good against lefties because he throws that tailing Maddux two-seamer that looks like it's going to hit them and ends up being a strike, and because of his splitter.

Heilman was awful against lefties last season.

Ah you're right. We acquired him after I had posted all those numbers.
Really it was just last year though as I'm looking at his numbers, and he won't pitch anything like last year.
