Jeff,
3) I guess I'm not seeing what you're seeing.   Langerhans is worse against fastballs than sliders, and pretty bad against change-ups.   Lopez is much worse against fastballs than Langerhans, but quite good against change-ups and lost against cutters.    The FB isn't his 'weak spot' solely because no one could run a CAREER -1.40 or whatever against FBs and stay in the league.   OK, Yuni Betancourt is trying, but the results aren't great so far.   Anyway, just looking at the LWs/C, Lopez is worse versus FBs, and much worse this year, for what it's worth (not much).   It's just that both have a pitch that they struggle against even more.
 
4) Yes, we'll all be watching, as we should with all the M's.   Sure would be nice to get some pitch fx data and do some cool graphs the way Dave Allen's doing them at fangraphs, but I don't have the database.  
"Then I would prefer that you not participate in the discussions on a substantial basis."
This is absolutely your right, and I accept your terms.
