Talk:The Art of Platooning: How it Could Effectively be Employed by the Blue Jays/@comment-67758-20060315115939

I agree that a platooning sometimes works. Bobby Valetine often platooned players when the Mets were good in the late 1990s and 2000. I always wondered, however, if the actual players liked the system, and if over-time they were playing as hard as they could to not platoon, or conversly if they became discouraged. I guess my issue with platooning refers more to the psychological aspects of being a ball-player.
