The Cincinnati Reds still can’t hit left-handed pitching

There is a train of thought that suggests that if your team either can’t - or won’t - go out and spend big on position players who can really hit, it can find a way to build a platoon to mimic said production. After all, players who can truly mash against both lefties and righties are few and far between, rarely reach free agency at all, and cost a pretty penny when they ever do.
