Borrego and Martin have much worse numbers vs leftys since hitting the major leagues

But probably does a number against righties while he is in. I always strive to have 3/4 lefty OFs (depending on what my DH situation looks like). If you mouse over the stat values, you can see break downs for most. For instance Hagan has 506 ABs against lefties in the minors. Borrego only had 140 ABs against lefties in the minors. Martin had 95.
