This is true for relievers, although teams aren't going to switch up their starting rotations.
Is this really an advantage though? I don't want teams throwing out their RHPs at Safeco against our offense.
At the same time you make a good point about the switch hitters having less of a penalty vs RHP. Even so, the strongest park of our offense is geared towards the worst part to hit in our park.
It is likely that SAFECO will help shrink these stats 10 OPS closer together, but we're still going to need those lefties in Safeco.
Its a GOOD thing the Ms are strong vs LHP, I just thought it was interesting that for all the talk of building to the park this team isn't far off from the Bavasi teams stylistically. Its stronger vs LHP, and not a single bat in our lineup has a platoon advantage against RHP either Figgins.
