Camargo

The Braves can do better at 3B than a guy who can't hit RHP, especially since defensive value declines at an earlier age than offensive value.

Posting overall numbers for platoon players and then extrapolating them over a full season is a more than a bit misleading as well...

Camargo's overall career line has been accumulated while facing ~29% LHP, while the average MLB hitter faces ~39% LHP. Camargo has been placed in situations he is more likely to succeed in, so extrapolating those numbers to a full season completely ignores the fact that he wouldn't be in those advantageous situations as frequently over the course a full season as an everyday player.

He is a perfectly fine stop gap until Riley gets his shot, and I would look for the Braves to add a LHH who can help cover 3B a bit as well.

Doesn't that imply he HASNT faced lefties at the average clip, and thus his overall numbers are skewed negatively?
