Lou claims there isn't anything to this but just wanting to sit Milton against a tough right-handed SP.

Contreras is a tough RHP? Maybe in 2005...

He's been unhittable since coming off the DL though, that's all I meant.

I can't remember a manager who was more concerned with lefty/righty matchups. So is he going to platoon Bradley now? Seriously, our RFer who makes $10M and is a switch hitter can't hit against a 40 year old castaway from Cuba? Does this make any sense to anyone else?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I've stopped trying to figure it out. I mean...the primary reason we got Bradley was his handedness, right?

Yeah, that's what is funny about the whole thing, but the way he's performed this season it sort of makes sense. Put Milton in the lineup against the mediocre to average RH SPs and most LHs, and he could do fairly well. The Hoff should be the primary RF against tough righties. What do we have to lose?
