Which of these guys should I use as my LFer vs lefties? (and thanks for the responses on the other 1/2 of the platoon question)
SteveMartin (a wild and crazy guy)
FredRedding CesarLee YovaniRios
Redding has been my CF. Doesn't have the range for that, anymore. I could play him at 2B. Or I could acquire a 2B and play him in LF. Would provide GG LF defense and pop 20+ HR's, if I played him everyday. Could play him all the time do that at 2B. Won't at LF.
Lee is a leadoff type of LF guy. Fields his position fine. Walks. Not a lot of power. I was set to use him there. Reconsidering.
Martin is a true triple option type of guy. Homer, BB, or strikeout. Would mash some and walk a bunch. A number 6 hitter type. Decent range and arm, scrappy glove.
Rios is a guy with terrific power. Will not walk (only walked .011 at AAA last year). Basically strikes out and mashes. So so range and arm. Ugly glove.
Thanks...moe
