I hope Sveum's tutoring has an effect on the team being able to hit left handed pitchers. Tonight's pitcher, Smyly, is a lefty. The Royals have six players that bat significantly worse against lefties vs righties. Sadly, one player that bats a lot better against lefties, Aoki, probably won't be playing. His replacemnt, Dyson, is batting .315 against Right handed pitching and .214 against Left handed pitching. In Omaha, Maxwell is currently hitting .455 against lefties. Could the Royals make a move to bring Maxwell up to platoon with Dyson until Aoki can play again?
