Splitting the lefties

If I remember correctly, the Dodger's situational bullpen lefties (Beimel and Kuo) gave us fits in the series out in LA, and that they were especially effective against Utley and Howard.  I would like to see Manuel split those two up by batting Utley second and leaving Howard in clean up. Victorino or Werth could hit third. Utley hasn't been hitting for much power for quite some time and his contribution is actually better suited to the two hole right now.  In fact, I'd even consider dropping Utley to sixth, but I know that won't happen.  Keeping the two lefties together in the lineup often gives those situational left handed relief pitchers a chance to get two outs without having to face a righty.  I'm guessing that Manuel keeps both lefties together though.
