Why is anyone surprised? This is what Ozzie does. He'd pull Cotts for Adkins if it meant getting a righty-righty matchup. He is crazy for them in all aspects of the game. That's why the lefties were pushed up against Mussina. I think the only thing keeping Timo from batting cleanup is that Ozzie saw an opportunity to make the first six batters L, R, L, R, L, R.
