Do the Phillies need a better option against left handed pitchers in left field?

The Phillies are running a platoon in left field, whether they want to openly admit to it or not. It doesn’t take a genius to see that. They have a combination of Weston Wilson and Max Kepler being run out there and it has been...ok. Kepler’s numbers against both sided pitching have been disappointing while Wilson has struggled since coming back from the injured list.

The offense as a whole has been perfectly fine, an above average unit that does score runs together, but there also seems to be something missing. Not every part of a lineup is going to click at the same time, but there are times when it can be better constructed to hum a little more efficiently.
