Can you imagine Sammy Snead getting up on a dog-leg left hole and deciding to swing lefty, just to hit a fade? Heck no, Sammy had the one of the most buttery swings in the history of the game.
It would make no sense.
Franklin and switch-hitting from the right side fit this very same scenario.
Has he faced a lefty this spring?
Franklin as McLemore, with 25 starts at each of 2B-3B-SS-LF makes a whole lot of sense, until he gets his full-time slot.
