I’ll edit and adjust accordingly.

For myself — at least for daily leagues — I’ll be much more open to platooning. Every league that I play in has an innings cap; sure it can be managed by having more relievers and spot your starters more, but I’d rather roster a 15 home run guy and play him sporadically than a middle reliever with OK rates.

Is your intent to have both in your starting line-up, or to platoon based on pitcher? If you’re platooning, then you would lose a little bit of the stats above from games where they entered as a sub, but still a good output. If you’re starting both, then you would have quite a few games with little or no production.
