It is a bit strange, because in all fairness Mark Sweeney was doing just fine hitting RHP at first base. He has better #s than Shea does vs. RHP too.
Feliz shouldn't even be taking up a roster spot on the Giants. The guy is like a worse version of Tony Batista, hits the ball hard, but has these awful OBPs... his career OBP is .293, absolutely disgusting for an MLB 3rd Baseman.
Not to mention, Feliz has really messed up splits. So it isn't like Hillenbrand who likes to rake against LHP, so he isn't that useful in a platoon type role.
They'll probably use Hillenbrand at 3rd base, and it will basically be a wash if you take out the first 2 weeks. He'll probably hit like a demon, then slump per usual.
