I wanted to show Guiel could homer off lefties as well as righties, so I looked at all his homers so far. 4 of his 22 HR have been against lefties, so the data doesn't really make my case, but then I realized homers-against-lefties-per-lefty-faced (or per AB against LHP) is more important than homers-against-lefties overall (because he gets benched a lot against LHP). My attention wandered before I got much further, but one fun data point - 8 of Guiel's 22 HR have been against the Dragons.
