Lefty Righty problems

So here we are in July and Manny and Ortiz are still under performing. People say Manny's swing has slowed down and Papi's hurt, which are both true to some extent. That isn't the real problem however. The real problem is their complete inability to hit in the lefty/lefty or righty/righty situation. Meaning Manny can't hit righties and Ortiz can't hit lefties.

Manny Ramirez
Left - .386/.519/.771
Right - .265/.344/.415

David Ortiz
Left - .257/.354/.330
Right - .352/.468/.680

Clearly, this is a huge issue. Maybe we could just combine the two players into one and have the best hitter in baseball. Danny Ramtiz would be hitting .365/.490/.720. He would be a complete monster. Until we learn to do that, we are just going to have to hope that they figure this out.
