The Cubs have played three games against left-handed pitchers in the 2012 MLB Season, hitting an unimpressive .212/.288/.283 slash -- though their slash against right-handed starters (.240/.298/.340) is hardly much better. Throughout his MLB career, Reed Johnson has proven himself to be a capable lefty-masher, hitting .310/.367/.462 against southpaws.
