Yeah, Albies is legit and I'm maybe actually wrong about Camargo. Dude can hit

thewupk, the cards are making our nl playoff bet interesting
Camargo has feasted on lefties with a big helping thanks to a 468 BABIP against them and has a 669 OPS against righties. And right now he has roughly twice as many abs against righties as he does against lefties. He would have a worse ratio if he played everyday. And with BABIP normalization is overall stats would not be very good. The Braves would get better production out of a good platoon than Camargo everyday at 3B.
Ruiz has a 0.314 xwOBA vs RHers, while Camargo is sitting at 0.271. Camargo has a .362 vs RHers.
Assuming a 4:1 RH:LH pitcher ratio, that platoon should produce somewhere around a 0.325 wOBA. Couple that with above average defense, and the Braves should expect about 2+ wins from the position in 2018.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Ruiz is a very good complement for Camargo, Swanson and Albies, given that those three all hit lefties significantly better.

"I am your retribution."
Teheran should just pretend every team he pitches against is the Nats.
