Nice. He was my first choice as someone to platoon at 1B.

I also just realized that five of my seven position players, included my entire top four, bat left-handed. I guess I know what I'm looking for on my bench.

I at one point dismissed a 1B platoon, then clicked on his splits for that season and was like... woah.

I realized early that I was going way too left handed in my lineup, but was able to fill out the rest of my line up with righties so it's all good.

I should draft Norm Cash to platoon him with Cecil.

damn I really wanted Cecil Fielder so I could platoon him with Cecil Cooper at first and have two Cecils at one position! That would have been awesome. oh well. I guess I'll take Cecil Cooper anyway. One Cecil is better than none.

I thought it was going to be an issue, but the more I think about it, the more I expect to not want to platoon any of Morgan/Boggs/Olerud/Griffey anyway. I just want the option here and there.

Well I am really glad I took Cecil there (i wavered for another guy i am considering), given that you each had 2 picks.

With the platooning conversation going, this seems like a good time for a rule/procedure proposal. It's something we did towards the end of the Franchise tournament, and it made things a lot faster and easier.

If people could keep their line-up for facing RHPs as their default lineup in whatif at all times, that would be fantastic.

I planned on it, given i am the most serial offender as it comes to lineup changes.

I think I pretty much stuck with a default lineup last time around regardless of the opposing pitcher and just tinkered here and there, but if I ever want to make changes I'll make the sure the lineup is ready so you can just go with what's there.

For the 3rd Willie on my team (4th if you count Wilbur), I take Willie Hernandez.

I really wanted Willie McCovey and Willie Wilson also, but it just wasn't in the cards.
