Is there something I'm missing here? I haven't verified it, but I'm assuming it was for the lefty/righty matchup, but geez... Is Norton 0 for 10000 against righties in close & late situations with RISP on nights with a 3/4 full moon? What stats do you have to be looking at to pass up on the guy who's seeing the ball well for the guy who's having an embarrassing season?
