I’ve spent a lot of time this spring pointing out that Erubiel Durazo has never hit lefties, and I’ve heard from a lot of people that he’s never had the chance to hit lefties. That he will hit them this year. I don’t see it, but he did walk twice in five AB tonight, with lefty Jamie Moyer starting. More importantly, Durazo started with Jamie Moyer as the opposing pitcher.
I seriously doubt this will last long. Durazo really hasn’t hit lefties, though I suppose he could pull a Ryan Klesko and prove me wrong. But I like my position.
