Platoons are a funny thing, aren’t they? You’re drafting a guy who you think is on the strong side of a platoon, he ends up on the wrong side and then you’re pfft’d out of luck. On second thought, that’s not funny. That’s just sad.... (click to read the rest)
Eric Thames projected to 150 Games vs RHP and LHP with 12 team mixed fantasy value. This helps identify a player's platoon value for fantasy baseball based on pitcher handedness. These projections by Steamer are a MUCH better indicator of a hitter's platoon splits than in-season stats since it involves multiple years of data and has been properly regressed to league averages. Since games are neutralized across players, values for everyday players may look smaller than for preseason/season to date/rest of season where they benefit from playing time advantages vs other players. In general, left-handed hitters have larger platoon splits.
