It would make more sense if he had hit LHP at all this year. He hasn't had very good splits at all... Granted his Career numbers are pretty good.
Jay Bruce not playing? They must be frowning on his current hot streak. Don't want a hot bat in the middle of the order!
nice. bruce couldn't hit perez if he was given 5 strikes per AB.
It certainly can't hurt. Bruce gets rest against a lefty, which is probably a good thing. Hopefully Heisey can get off to a good start and then take over in left field - that spot is still very iffy with Gomes, Nix and Dickerson. Somebody needs to take that spot and hopefully Heisey is the man for the job.
Don't like the idea of sitting your hottest hitter atm lefty or no lefty. Heisley,Stubs,Bruce in the OF would be sick.
Also keep in mind Bruce has pretty bad numbers against everyone, not just lefties, but he's been putting together better quality at bats lately. Not saying he would do great, but I don't think he's a worse option than the people who are playing. He worked a walk off of Dennys Reyes in the St. Louis series. I'm very impressed with how much his plate discipline has come along since last season. I really hope he can keep it up.
I like the idea of Bruce sitting against Perez. I think he would struggle against him. Let's get as many right handed batters as we can in the lineup.
Whats the story on Heisey?Power,speed?
Bruce vs. a lefty.
Giving Bruce a rest.
Gomes crushes lefties.
Not a big deal, and a nice night to debut an up and commer.
If I was going to compare him to anyone at the plate it would be Rolen. Thats a basic view on what type of hitter to expect. Good average, good SO/BB ratio, good power. Above average speed. PRobably similar to Bruce or Votto but he has been a better base stealing threat.
