Since 2006, as a LH batter, Berkman is hitting close to .300, Slugging nearly .600, with an OBP near .400, and an OPS of nearly 1.000 over the same time span as a LHer.

Why bother to switch hit with such poor productivity as a RHer?


BTW - he's really fallen off a cliff in '09 has a RHer: BA .205, OBP .247, Slugging .397, OPS .643...which is a WORSE OPS than Bourn, Maysonet, Keppinger, Quintero, IRod, Blum, Hampton and Ortiz....UGLY!!!!!
