All things being equal....which of these guys would you play in LF?

(They are pretty equal...except #1 has a 31 point better eye and #2 has a 15 point better RH split)

#1. http://whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=641242

#2. http://whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=1711962

And....I'm trying to figure out what to do with this guy. Right now he's the best backup CF/2B I've got. Is he useful at all? Perhaps just agains RH'ers?

Edit: Additionally, what would a LF platoon of these two guys look like? #3 (J. Bristow) is high contact with a great RH split and a good eye. #4 (R. Lee) is a high contact guy with a terrific LH split and not a great eye. Not much power from either guy, but I might have a high average LH platoon that is great defensively. And it would give me some defensive flexability on the bench. Does this make sense. Or is going with one of the above guys just a better deal? This platoon option intrigues me. But as a newby maybe it is stupid.

So I guess pick #1, #2, or the #3/#4 platoon. Thanks....

guess it depends on the rest of the lineup. what do you need? a guy who can work some counts, or a guy who's a free swinger and can drive the ball?

i dont love either of them

and Jack B should do pretty decent against righties.

None of the four you have linked should ever, in my opinion, play a single inning of CF/2B.

Jack B vs righties is good enough to be useful, especially if you are aggressive on the basepaths.

Between the bats of the two top guys, I like #1 a little more than #2, but neither is really great.

i'd take the 3/4 platoon if you could get some power out of the rest of your lineup.

So platoon these guys in LF and find a better defensive backup at CF/2B?
