Getting more from a position by utilizing 2 average, low cost players and combining the two into a potential all-star, 10M/year production.
C- Flowers .269/.309/.596 v LHP, Gimenez v. RHP .283/.383/.423 LF- Viciedo- .350/.391/.642 vs LHP, .225/.271/.380 vs RHP Starting at catcher, it's obvious Flower is the everyday catcher, but he's clearly much stronger against LHP. Gimenez should/may see more playing time than we think this year against RHP. Viciedo had 43 hits vs LHP w/ 18 of them going for extra base hits. He also K'd just 18 times while walking 9 times as opposed to his 5:1 K/BB against RHP......People will argue that he hit 25HR, understandable. Yet, if we played Dwayne Wise vs all RHP and Viciedo vs all LHP here's the production we would have got from a 3M left field. Adjusted for 600 ABs (and weighing the fact of more RHP than LHP) aka Wise will get more ABs .297/.357/.511 33HR, 97RBI, 40 doubles 20SB...... What's the going rate for a .300/30/20/100 LF (see Ryan Braun) Also gives the Sox an above average defensive LF

Is this a serious argument for platooning (1) anyone with Dayan Viciedo, and (2) Dewayne ****ing Wise, of all people?

You haven't demonstrated any evidence Wise would be able to put up those kind of numbers over 110-120 starts the LH hitting half of the platoon would get. Probably would work on Playstation, though.

I hate to break it to you, but the Sox aren't going to win **** this year, so the focus should be on long-term player development. Viciedo's growth as a full-time player should not be stunted so Dewayne ****ing Wise can get on the field a little more.
You're also basing your argument for Dewayne based on 1 year of splits, a career anomaly for a 30+ year old journeyman AAAA player. Here's his career body of work vs. RHP starters: .255/.283/.412 **** that noise. |

Yah, No. You don't give Wise 400 PA's so you can give Viceado 200-250.
Young guys like Tank and Flowers, they don't have a big enough sample size. If every damned player was judged solely on his rookie year, you would be missing out on a lot of really good players. You want the Sox LF to put up Braun numbers? The answer is to have them start sticking a needle in their ass, not playing Dewayne Wise more.

Lets just keep playing .300 OB% guys and expecting different results.
Good thing Hahn is a SABR guy, a Beane pupil.....So eventually this team will be figure out using logic I agree with |

Good thing baseball isn't played by actuaries too. If Viciedo isn't playing close to full-time, he should be in Charlotte or Birmingham... NOT Chicago. No sane manager would risk stunting his potential like that. It's a ridiculous notion.
