Berkman swinging lefty

I'm gonna take Utley. I think Berkman will likely outscore him in the first round, but Utley's stamina will push him to the win.

I'm gonna be a homer and pick Longoria, even though I didn't know that he was participating.

Hamilton may not win it, but I'll enjoy watching him swing more than any of the others.

Berkman, a switch-hitter who could obviously bat left-handed to shoot for the short right-field porch, said he won't do so because he doesn't want to disturb his swing. Houston's Minute Maid Park has a short right-field porch with a high wall.
"I work the entire year on not pulling the ball in batting practice left-handed," Berkman said. "So my swing is just more up the middle, up the middle, up the middle. Now, to have to all of a sudden have to pull the ball, I don't want to do that. Whereas right-handed, I naturally pull the ball anyway, so it's much easier for me to just turn it loose right-handed than it is left-handed during batting practice."

then he's a fricking idiot. If he doesn't want to 'disturb his swing', he shouldnt be in it at all...

said the man who can't hit a softball past shortstop and makes about 1/200th of the salary the Berkman makes.
