Duvall needs to be platooned. His 24% HR/FB is the only thing propping his numbers up against righties. The rest of his stats are garbage against them this year. And of course there is an entire career worth of numbers showing he needs to be platooned. Joc has a career 128 WRC+ against righties. It's like the perfect match.

Of course it all depends on price. But a strict platoon of Joc and Duvall likely gets you ~3.5 WAR. Duvall would be in year 3 of arbitration and Joc of course would be on the open market.

Game 1 vs BoSox with no Freddie or d'Arnaud.
Riley at 1B, Hech at 3B, and Flowers catching. Ozzie hitting 2nd
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Markakis should not be back. Duvall as a platoon with a LH OFer like Brantley as an example. Have to see how Pache and Waters do over the winter. Ender will at least start the season with Braves unless a miracle occurs. Will be interesting to see what Ozuna commands. First priority still has to be a viable MLB pitcher.
