Just caught a few minutes
Danny Clinkscale followed up with the obvious question - what about sample size? What is a significant sample? Hillman didn't really answer the question in relation to the previous answer, he said 200-250 at bats is statistically significant. Which I agree with, however that doesn't square with his previous answer.
I personally think that for a team with such young players, aside from maybe Guillen and Grudzielanek and maybe DJ you're not going to have statistically significant matchup histories on this team. Is the fact that Mark Teahen is 13-30 against Mark Buerhle statistically significant? Or was he just lucky? Its hard to tell in just 30 at bats, so I hope Trey is not relying on that too much.

At least he knows what OBP is
With regard to matchups, I don't think he's going to rely too much on small samples. I think he's going to take those individual matchup stats (which will often be small-to-moderate samples) and view them in the context of everything else he knows about the batter and hitter. So, I think he'd view Teahen's 13-for-30 against Buehrle in the context of how well Teahen hits against lefties overall, and how well he hits soft tossing changeup/breaking ball pitchers.
