Not to side with anyone, and I might not explain myself well, but wouldn't an individual pitcher's splits be more important than an individual batter's? Meaning that the fact that Grabow is worse vs. lefties should be more important than the fact that the batter is worse vs. the average LHP? I think it's safe to say that most lefthanded batters are worse vs. LHP- so if Grabow is worse vs. lefhanded batters than righties, doesn't that mean that he is so bad that he has overcome the general trend of lefties struggling vs LHP to the point that he actually makes them better than they are against the average RHP?... and following that, there is no reason to use his handedness as a crieteria for bringing him in.
