We had watched a plethora of players at 1B/3B, platooning eight players at first and five at third in a 60 game season. Craig Counsell wanted options, but platoons of that size create issues in team stability and with most of those players – Smoak, Holt, Healy, Morrison, Gyorko and Sogard released either during or at the end of the season, the question remained.
