well, if there is at least 25% of lefty starting pitchers in your division, I would have a preferrence for Phillips.
And you could really improve his card if you could put a base stealer in front of him vs rhp. This way, you could avoid some of his awful 30 gbA to turn into dp, and you will maximize the chance to bet on his good clutch.
You could also play him to use more hit-and-run when he faces right-handed pitchers, to avoid the double-play and improve his overall performance (nice B hit-and-run). Kendrick and Polanco also has a B hit-and-run, but because their cards are better vs rhp than vs lhp, and because they don't have as much gbA, you're wasting more potential by using the hit-and-run.
Vs lhp, Phillips has a head over the two others.
