Logan Forsythe‘s first season with the Tampa Bay Rays could have gone worse. He faltered entirely against right-handed pitching, managing just a .206/.279/.256 line, but he played fine (.708 OPS) against lefties and also played good defense at second base. He was going to be a lefty-mashing backup infielder, but that wasn’t such a bad thing. With the Rays having left-handed hitters like John Jaso, David DeJesus, Kevin Kiermaier, and James Loney on their team to start the year, it was going to be valuable to have a guy like Forsythe to replace them against lefty pitchers.
