I mean, I could talk about the Victorino decision all day.
Three Year Splits vs. LHP
Player A: .318/.396/.550 in 440 ABs (.701 OPS vs. righties)
Player B: .296/.398/.506 in 419 ABs (.692 OPS vs. righties)
Player A is Shane Victorino, who is a plus defensive CF and was NOT worth 1 year @ $5 million to Ben Cherington
Player B is Jonny Gomes, who is a DH and WAS worth 2 years @ $10 million...to Ben Cherington.
