According to CBS Sports, the following will be the projected lineup for the Cleveland Indians in 2012. Geesh, talk about left-handed heavy lineups...
NBC reported that 75% of Major League pitchers are right-handed, giving the Indians an added advantage against the vast majority of hurlers. On the contrary, I can't imagine they'll have much success against the other 25%.

Well, let's see. With that lineup, if they win 60% of their games against righties (73) and 20% of their games against lefties (8), they'll finish .500.

There isn't much balance in that lineup for sure. They could use at least one more right handed batter.

I heard the Tribe are looking over Vlad Guerrero. That would certainly bring some much needed balance against lefties and an upgrade in left field.
