   Should Greg Dobbs have been starting against right handed pitchers in the playoffs? Dobbs hits right handed pitchers much better than Feliz can. Dobbs is nowhere near the fielder Feliz is but does the upgrade Dobbs could give you on offense offset this?

   Dobbs unfortunately came down with the flu. That he didn't see any playing time in WS or maybe had an AB (can't remember)coupled with a hospital visit, suggests that it was influenza and not just a cold. Also maybe he reinjured his calf.

   Also, while including Dobbs in the lineup over Feliz might be the savvy thing to do, you need to keep in mind the value of their respective defenses. Feliz runs circles around Dobbs in the field. Further, that kind of platoon was not really explored during the regular season at all. The end result was that Dobbs was rusty all year and hadn't had consistent work.

   And as pounded clown mentioned, calf/flu.
