Dodgers: Evening things out
The vast discrepancy in the batting averages of switch-hitting third baseman Wilson Betemit when he hit left-handed (.281) vs. when he hit right-handed (.189) last season is something manager Grady Little believes will work itself out this year. "I think when he got to us (last July 28) and started playing every day, he got into some bad habits when he hit right-handed," Little said. ``After that, it became a big deal. He started trying too hard, trying to dig himself out. But I look at his history hitting right-handed (.230 for his career), and there is no doubt in my mind that he can hit right-handed now."
