I was checking out Choo's career splits to see what we might expect from him against LHP, and comparing them to Votto's.

Of Choo's 907 career PA vs. LHP, 767 have been against LHP starters (and he's been fairly productive against the starters).

vs LHP as LHB 907 .249 .338 .358 .695

vs LH Starter 767 .273 .378 .403 .781

Votto's numbers against LHP are, of course, even better. What I can't understand is how few PA (46) he has had against LH relievers. This has to be an error, doesn't it?

vs LHP as LHB 957 .304 .394 .504 .898

vs LH Starter 911 .302 .396 .522 .918
