The platoon partners will be Ryan O’Hearn (duh) and Hunter Dozier. Originally it was thought they each would have their own starting role on the Kansas City Royals infield. That still will be true, but there are games when Dozier will slide over to cover first base when the other team throws a lefty. This will give room for super utility man Chris Owings to get regular playing time.
Based on Yost’s language this will not be a hard nosed platoon. There may be some games where a southpaw is on the mound and O’Hearn is in the starting lineup, but it seems more often than not that will not be the case.
