    Besides, I'm fine with platoons, and it's easier to find a matching player who hits lefties well and can defend the OF for real cheap.
    Platoons are small market baseball. “Instead of getting one expensive and good full time player, let’s get two cheap ones who each suck part time in such a way that they compliment each other.”

    You're really painting with a broad brush this morning. I think there have been a few successful platoons in history.

    Moreland and Pearce were a nice platoon in 2018, and would have been this year if not for that stupid injury thing.
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    It's not really "small market" anymore. The Dodgers did it with Joc. That Yanks do it.

    Put the best team on the field as much as possible.

    That’s another thing.

    When you platoon, you double your chance of injury...

    One could argue it cuts the risk in half.

    It didn't matter. They've been platooned their whole lives.

    Cincinnati’s signing of Japanese center fielder Shogo Akiyama could impact the market for Jackie Bradley Jr.:
