    When did I say you should throw it out? I'm just saying it's an outlier season in terms of a guy who has limited data against left handers, and that makes it impossible to get anything close to reliable predictive data. I mean, you are in here trying say his current splits are who he will be going forward, and his current splits have gone from .267 BA to over .280 BA versus lefties in just a couple months, there is nothing reliable there.

    I'm saying his career splits are a better predictor for what he will do going forward than his current season splits.

    I think we should just remove every player's worst season when projecting their future production. It will lead to a much happier world of baseball.
