Wells: .239/.290/.418 (708)

Thomas: .241/.353/.416 (769)
That is their numbers against right handed pitching.
Considering 75% of the league or w/e throws right handed, these guys simply pad their stats and molest lefties, but aren't getting it done when it really seems to matter. Having a nice mix of guys who can hit lefties is nice, but really, the way this roster is constructed... it simply isn't balanced.
This is why we are not hitting with runners in scoring position, or getting the hits when we need it.
Also, I'm not sure if you guys have noticed, but my god, Wells isn't making the adjustments he needs to make. Striking out/infield popups on high fastballs or ground out/missing on low/outside breaking balls/sliders. These guys keep pitching him the exact same way, and instead of maybe taking some high fastballs and just sitting/leaning out on say, a slider away and slashing it for a single/double, he just keeps whiffing. It is getting more irritating because he keeps doing it.
