fathom Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 2 minutes ago, maxjusttyped said: He has a 99wRC+ against them for his career. In 2019, it was 121. In 2020, it was 104. Last year, 99. Leury and Harrison are both pretty obvious. It's not like Yoan is a straight platoon guy, or something. Maybe you do think this should happen, but I've never seen you in GT's advocating for Abreu to bat ~7th or whatever against RHP. His OPS against LHP has been .703 or lower in 4 of his 5 seasons with the Sox. I also assume Engel in the lineup instead of Leury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 So I definitely forgot Heaney was a lefty. As such, here’s what I’d rock against LHP: Anderson, SS Robert, CF Grandal, C# Abreu, 1B Jimenez, DH Vaughn, LF Moncada, 3B# Engel, RF Harrison, 2B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also assume Engel in the lineup instead of Leury. Semantics, but wRC+ is a better stat than OPS. OPS (obviously) weights a point of OBP and slug as the same, whereas all the research I've read concludes a point of OBP is much more valuable. But I don't really want to derail the thread or anything. If the Sox really want to optimize their lineup to the extent established guys are being move around significantly based on their platoon splits, I think that would be great. But TLR doesn't strike mas the manager who will ever do something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 Moncada should probably bat 6th or 7th against lefties. Realistically, it’s still good to have him break up some of the righties and I’d rather have his bat first once the bullpen kicks in than Engel or Harrison/Legend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
