How many LH hitters do you need on average in 2005? I try to have at least 3, to cover for all eventualities even though I play in neutral stadiums (so far), because there are always lots of Sheas and other LH parks. Is this enough or do I need more? 4? 5? How many LH players should I try and get per season?
I ask this as a I had a disasterous Wrigley team and only had one LH bat until late in the season. Not pretty!

I think 3 might be enough. It's a good idea I believe to have one or two switch hitters as well. Maybe 3 if you only have one or two lefties.

I prefer a minimum of 3. usually lefties are better vs rh pitching, and since the majority of the timeyou face about 70% RH pitching... it just adds up.
Obviouly playing in a division with 3 sheas/wrigleys cna skew things, but usually 3 in the min number of lefties I like to carry.
