i'm thinking of a player...

Let's call him David B.

No... that's too obvious. Call him D. Bell.

Bell

Had a .589 OPS from the 7-hole. That's bad.

I wonder

How does Bell's .506 OPS platoon split rank among the biggest splits in history?

This list confused me at first

I was thinking it was a ranking by fielding position, rather than by batting order position. I couldn't figure out how Florida, with primarily Luis Castillo manning second base (i.e. the #4 position), managed to be second in the majors.
