I just see that as being uber-ultra-super-duper nit-picky.
It's a fair issue. To me, far less would be one player every 20-30 years, and even that might be excessive. The only time you see a lefty at one of them is in an emergency situation. You'd have to go back several decades to find the last left-handed major leaguer to play at one of those positions regularly. I think the last lefty to start at one of those positions was Don Mattingly for two games in 1986.
