For awhile Casey platooned. Gradually he shifted. Won both ways but in general a set lineup usually wins a pennant. Finally he was able to play both Howard and Berra together and Maris replaced Bauer in right. Skowren played most every day and he was blessed with six right hand hitting infielders who could interchange and Lumpe who hit LH. Of course Mantle was a platoon playing switch hitter.

Crawford should study Tucker from the Astros. Compact swing with power. Crawford is too big, too slow. And now probably too old. If they get Correa he’s got to play short and Crawford needs to be broad minded.
