No Need to Platoon Alvarez

Should Wilson Alvarez end up in the bullpen this season, remember this comment by Dodger manager Jim Tracy (from The Associated Press):

"I've never seen as many right-handed hitters (s)wing and miss on a left-hander as I do with Wilson Alvarez," Tracy said.

The stats back it up. Over the past three seasons, in more than 900 plate appearances, opposing right-handed batters have a .644 OPS against Alvarez. Alvarez should not be limited to facing left-handed batters.

(By the way, I do like "wing and miss," as the AP article puts it.)
