a quick breakdown on platoon splits at BP.com

what i found most interesting was a result at the end: "platoon splits are actually a much bigger deal for pitchers than for hitters"

i'm not sure if anyone else noticed it this year, or if i'm having selective memory here, but it seemed that the Indians played the platoon against the pitcher more than the hitter, ie, playing michaels against a RHP that righties hit better than lefties. its just good to know that our FO already has discovered, and tried to take advantage of this.
