I'm sure a lot of posters have had successful platoons in the classic veins of a Casey Stengel/Earl Weaver method. So I'm curious what your success stories are. Anybody have a duo who are mediocre on their own but when teamed put up insane numbers e.g. 30-40 HRs as a tandem?

I was looking at my Silver All-Star 74 Miguel Tejada on my newly created PT (FTP, waiting to find a viable platoon partner for him) and I noticed how much better he is as a lefty killer. He's solid enough against RHP but looks like All-Star (no pun intended) material against lefties.

Overall: 69 CON/43 GAP/71 HR/28 Eye/60 Avoid K
Against LHP: 77 CON/47 GAP/84 HR(!)/33 Eye/66 Avoid K

On the pitching side, has anybody tried doing this with 'Specialist' pitchers? I have a 56 Unsung Heroes Roger Mason with more favorable ratings against RHB. Granted, it's only an Entry league but I've experimented with him and he's put up a 1.21 ERA (398 ERA+) in 22 IP with 17 K against 4 BB overall with a .167 BA/.453 OPS allowed against righties.

Part of the issue with the latter is that the Computer AI sometimes struggles to focus on specific usage against mostly RHB or LHB based on the 'Specialist' designation.
