Thanks guys, really grateful for the advice. I'm doing platooning (currently have 5 lefties in the lineup vs RHP but only 2 vs LHP) but essentially doing it where my roster makeup allows me to, rather than looking at the players' split stats, so I'll have a look at them and see if I should move things around.
What I struggle a bit with in the game on that is how much individual players' splits seem to vary year on year. For example, I traded for lefty 3B Jake Lamb, and in the first year he had an OBP vs lefties of about .140, so I started platooning him the second half of the season. The last year and a half his OBP is about .380 so I stopped his platoon. He has about 80 PA against lefties this year, is that enough of a sample size for me to reasonably make a decision that this year at least he's ok against lefties after all and I shouldn't platoon him?
On the lineup, I don't change the order around during the season unless forced to by trades, injuries, etc. Is it beneficial to move things around fairly frequently depending on whether guys are hot or cold etc, to get out of a slump like this? I have 5 of my lineup vs RHP with the dreaded snowflake right now...
