The 2008 Marlins biggest(?) problem

In 2007 the biggest problem with the Fish was their awful D as hits were dropping in everywhere as measured by DER and team zone rating.
It's too early in the season to focus too much on any one player, as they don't have enough AB's to have a good sample. But the team stats have enough events that we can start to see what is going on with the whole team.
In 2008 the D is much better, as they are no longer worst in the league. Houston, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and San Francisco are all arguably worse. Maybe Hanley's health and having a real 3rd baseman are helping.
But the one thing that jumped out at me is that they are 29th in all of baseball in team OPS versus LHP. As you guys see more games than me, what is going on there? I thought the Marlins were loaded with RH batters.

Cantu
he is not a real third baseman, he’s quite bad over there
Cody not hitting against lefties this year hurts (when he’s notorious for killing them)
Amezaga is in the lineup, Treanor/Rabelo are definitely hampering the team in that regard
Hammer and Hanley are killing lefties
Cantu has just a .712 ops, Uggla is 4 for 30 against them, Cody 3 for 26, Jake is 5 for 32, Hermida with a .732OPS against them
there’s your answers
