Platooning is a Bour

The Miami Marlins were set as far as position players went this season. But, there was one position player that demonstrated a severe weakness.

Justin Bour and his inability to hit left handed pitching was a cause for concern in the Marlins front office. They toyed with the idea of bringing in a potential platoon partner for Bour.

The options for a power hitting, right-handed batting, first basemen were out there. For a while Mark Trumbo sat out while continuing talks with the Orioles, his eventual landing spot.
