PK's resigning has nothing to do with his platoon splits. The last thing our bench needed was a right handed bat

I got the "Dunn's platoon splits" line repeatedly when Konerko was re-upped as a reason why it made sense so I call back to that.

There's a .400 point OPS between his LH and RH splits. We're keeping Konerko as a part time DH who may randomly steal playing time from our most important and valuable prospect for less extreme splits than that.

 

There's a difference when you're thinking about platooning a leadoff hitter, especially when he gets on base 35% of the time against lefties.

 

His career numbers vs. lefties are also much better than what they were last year at .241/.340/.341, good enough for a .310 wOBA. It's not worth it to platoon him and he isn't "barely a platoon outfielder".

I don't think that's why Hahn did it
