Nimmo is a career .261/.371/.409 hitter vs lefties so I don't think the combo play would be for Hernandez/Nimmo to platoon it'd be for Hernandez to platoon with Verdugo if he's still on the team or maybe even Duran depending on what he can show the next couple months. Though Duran needs to be tried in LF to see if he's any better over there than CF. Yeah it wouldn't be a normal platoon. I'd look at it that way due to his injury history and to build depth. I'm not down just adding Nimo and hoping he stays healthy. Fair point, if they sign Nimmo they'd want to make sure they get an average RHH or switch hitting 4th OF who can play CF. They probably need that no matter what though if we're being honest. Duran can't play CF, heck we don't even know if he can play anywhere in the OF. They don't have anyone on the cusp of coming up unless Rafeala really pushes the issue but they shouldn't be banking on that. I suppose they could look to trade for a guy like Laureano to man RF since they need one of those too at this point. Jeez I'm having a hard time really seeing this OF next year being much better than it was this year which is sad. I guess if you assume Verdugo reverts closer to his career norms than the poor season he's had this year that's at least a start.
