Noise? I mean all of a sudden the guy is giving up HRs at a higher rate than at anytime in his career. Anyway, methinks the Angels have better options in their BP, than a guy who gives up 3 HRs in a matter of pitches.

This borderline-trivial difference in wOBA is probably less than the norm (I don't have composite wOBA splits handy), and if you remove the IBB - which all RH relievers will have in more quantity against LHB - it goes even closer to non-existent.

Saying he has a "platoon split" when he's below the average pitcher is somewhat misleading. The average RH pitcher has over 50 points of platoon split, if you want to use OPS.

from 2005-2007, he was a very good reliever who was in no way, shape, or form a right handed specialist. calling him a right handed specialist who has always been destroyed by lefties is factually inaccurate.

now, he’s a ROOGY. to say that this is nothing new to him is wrong.

Eiland has been slow starting out, but getting Cecil for Speier? Yes please! Type A compensation for relievers is just ridiculous.
