After his two home runs against lefties yesterday, Andruw Jones upped his career averages against lefties to .261 BA/.360 OBP/.503. SLG. Joe Girardi is using Jones’ strength to his advantage this year, as 42 of his 53 plate appearances have come against southpaws.
He won’t be an All-Star this year (as he was in 2006), but he’s been a key cog off the bench and Girardi’s left-hand man, if you will.
