The last 2 years combined he's below .500. I know, only 200 at-bats, but it's not like he has a track record of hitting them well... at all. The fact he has been hitting like a pitcher against lefties over his last 2 years certainly seems that choosing to bench him in favour of a guy who generally handles lefties reasonably well is certainly far from "clueless". Dejesus is at best .660 against lefties, at worst, he's disgusting. He's just not a dangerous bat against lefties any way you slice it.
