I've never pictured Overbay as the Norse God of Thunder, but from now on ... I will.

@Torgen:

You make a good point, but based on his production this year, I'd still like to see Overbay get the start against lefties, for two reasons:

1. His career line against lefties: .260/.314/.413 is a fair bit better than he's fared this year, is probably close to what Millar will give us going forward, and we all know he plays much, much better defense.

and more importantly,

2. Cito's shown that he's extremely reluctant to take out a veteran that he's started in a game for a PH. When Overbay doesn't start against a lefty, he doesn't come in for Millar in later innings against RHP relievers, so by not getting the start against lefties he's missing a decent amount of potential ABs against righties too.

More Albino Warlord, less Cowboy, please.

That's my favorite Overbay home run so far this year, too, and not just because the replay so beautifully illustrates the complete ineptitude of the idiots in the production truck for Sportnet - they credit Millar with the solo shot.

BOMBS!

Based on his .194/.286/.387 slash line against lefties, I'm not sure "unfortunately" is the word I'd use to describe his being platooned.

According to Wilner call ins last year, the Jays should've traded Rolen and Overbay for a bag of balls.
