Simply not the case. Sandy Leon and Christian Vasquez began their official platooning on April 16th this year. That's exactly why I used the numbers since then. Before that, Vazquez had only 3 starts compared to Sandy's 8.
My desire to get Avila here was to have him take Sandy's share because of the L/R splits, not CV's. Christian has not been good offensively save for this amazing run and a few multi-hit games in the beginning of the year, but he has good contact rates and doesn't strike out too often.
You should really stop posting when you're six feet under; then hang up, listen and digest. I guess you haven't realized it yet though.
Maybe I misunderstood the point here, but I thought you were arguing that our catching situation is generally bottom 5. If you want to switch your point to claim that the Vasquez/Leon L/R platoon is suboptimal then no matter. Your new point is equally incomprehensible.
First, you are splitting small sample sizes into miniscule ones, rendering this argument asinine. However, even if we were to accept the splits as reliable, I fail to see your argument. Vasquez, this year, has been hitting righties better than lefties. Leon this year is hitting lefties (98 wRC+) better than Aviles has his lefties for his entire career (73 wRC+ on career; he's even worse at 53 this year). Therefore, even according to your EV-like logic, the optimal L/R platoon would be Leon/Aviles. Aviles/Vazquez would be one of the worst platoons possible (flipping it would be better).
