IS that 800 OPS Platoon really a 800 OPS Platoon or is it actually .700 in equivalence because it's a suboptimal setup since you don't get the advantage every time.
As I think about it a little more, the platoon does give you some advantages (you can PH for someone else who also sucks against the pitcher and cross your fingers for the other guy), but you can also shoot yourself in the foot (you PH for Zunino with Smith, end up with Sucre in the lineup in the 8th inning and you end up with a clump of LHers for their LOOGY too).
I also think that the platoon advantage will fade in a short series as well, as the Orcs have displayed for more than 10 years.
