How can he disgrace his dad like that? Shouldn’t the odds of a lefty having a lefty son be something like 1-3 out of 100? 1/10 x 1/10=1/100 I guess there’s a way to train a switch hitter or make a kid close to ambidextrous, but doubt it’s easy to override the naturally dominant hand.

(Yes, I realize the comment was more sarcastic than anything...) Depends on his mom. Righty is the dominant. If his mom is right handed the chances are the kid will be right handed.

Only guys that are worth getting Yeah Span was still productive last year. He's likely only a corner guy now. They should go with whoever their best defensive CF in-house currently is and then 2 of the above. I think Marwin may be a little too expensive for them though.
