I've been pretty successful with platooning.

I have two guys in AAA who could be LF platoon types vs LHP (NL team).  Both are flawed hitters, nat great baserunners and  less than good fielders but I already have a better platoon guy at 1B, so that option is out. Both guys mash to a degree. I don't have to platoon, certainly.....but may consider for next year.  Both hit AAA LHP with authority.  Take your pick.  Who would you use in the capacity as decribed?

SteveMartin

Projects to a 24-80-66-38-95 line.  I like the walks....

YovanniRios

Projects to a 25-95-72-25-19 line.  Doesn't contact much....but the ball flies out when he does.

They are probably AAAA type players....but could be very useful used correctly, I think

You say "I break with thee, I break with thee, I break with thee", and then you throw the doggie poopy on their shoes.

Rios is going to have an OBP of about .270 in the majors, even against LHP.  .240/.270/.440 doesn't play for me in LF even full time, much less in a platoon.  Martin's a little better, but he will go about .240/.330/.420 against LHP.  That's not enough for me to use the roster spot for the back half a a platoon.  Plus, he runs like Yortuk Festrunk.
