I am really looking forward to this particular addition. Adding 15 more good-to-excellent platoon players to the pool will have a real impact on how the game is played. Thanks, Rosie, for setting this up.

Mariano Duncan the ONLY hitter tilted toward LHP. Bob Watson could benefit from a few votes to add at least one more 4L to balance off all the 4Rs and up.
