Dave Mayne and Brent Ross
2004-09-15 13:56
"Strike that. Reverse it." What follows violates my principles regarding the irrelevance of small sample sizes. But I can't help but notice that Brent Mayne, the left-handed-hitting catcher the Dodgers use against right-handed pitchers, has the following platoon splits in 2004: Mayne OPS vs. righties: .502 (141 at-bats) And I can't help but notice that Dave Ross, the right-handed-hitting catcher the Dodgers use against left-handed pitchers, has the following platoon splits in 2004: Ross OPS vs. righties: .662 (87 at-bats) I'm writing this expecting a lot of dismissive comments about how hopeless these two are, no matter what side of the plate you put them on. But the fact is, neither Mayne nor Ross is really as bad as they have been since August 1. So I'm wondering if Jim Tracy should mix up the pattern, yes, just for the sake of mixing it up. And yeah, it probably wouldn't destroy Los Angeles to give Tom Wilson a start, either.
