In 2007:
Norris Hopper vs LHP -
111 at bats
OBP .385
OPS .826
Ken Griffey vs LHP -
191 at bats
OBP .317
OPS .735
Not to mention Hopper's defense is better than Griffey's ( at this stage of his career )
1. Why is there no love for Hopper? Batting him leadoff vs LHP seems fine to me.
2. Why not a platoon of Hopper and Griffey in rightfield for 2008?
Griffey isn't going to play 162 games anyway so why not get him most of his ABs vs righties. His OPS vs RHP in 2007 was .943
