NO--Hal can't pull that off.
Hal makes doubles switches all the time--just seldom ones that make much sense.
The new platoon PH feature helped--but it is a hard platoon switch that will make the switch in any situation--two outs no one on etc--when you would just as soon keep the starter in. Also platoon PH has to be at same position--HAL can't move them around like you want in your example--thats an achilles heal of the Platoon PH feature.
I had hoped Strat would allow any hitter on the roster to platoon PH then let HAL do the defensive subs--but they didn't do it that way, I don't know why--because in standard PH (Strategy listed PH vs L/R) situations Hal will even move people out of position after a PH.
I would try listing Albies in strategy at PH vs LH--and hope Hal makes the switch--but odds are it won't work out. Even if Albies PHed for Tellez--Hal probably would not bring Albies in the game--subbing some other 1B unless Merrifield was the only other 1B left.
