I love Fangraphs one-, two-, and three-year features. Utley's crazy fielding rating sticks out -- he's good. One thing to note is that Fangraphs doesn't make any park adjustments for their win probability tables, so hitters get overrated in hitters' parks, and vice versa. Colin, I'm excited. Current talent projections are a huge void on the 'net. (Until now, I think.) Ryan, many lefties have learned how to hit against lefties over their careers, and often times early struggles are just a fluke. That being said, half a season of decent performance against lefties is encouraging for Granderson, but nothing concrete. And thanks. Hats, cool stuff.

Compared to .297 against righties. Granted, he's not hitting for power as well against southpaws (SLG: .502 vs. .393), but at least he's getting on base. Leyland has been starting him at leadoff against lefties lately; last year and early this year he often was sat against lefties. Good article. Sky-
