Re: platoon system
I LOVE the platoon system ...
If you're a budget-conscious team, using the platoon system allows you to assemble a roster full of guys with very specific skills and can help save money. It also allows you to win lots of matchup battles.
In practical terms, I like to platoon one OF, one middle infielder, one corner infielder, and the catcher if possible. That way you only have to find 1-2 "complete" outfielders and 1-2 "complete" infielders who can play everyday. That drastically reduces the number of people you have to pony up and pay for.
Also, a complete player can often have CON/PWR ratings that are lower than a specialist who only hits one type of pitcher well.
