I don't see any platoon split in Figgins numbers for 2010/2011, as expected for a slumpin switch hitter he is equally bad from both sides.
Is there any reason to expect that a switch hitter in the midst of a severe slump might recover if he were platooned? My uninformed opinion is that platooning Figgins might simplify his at bats, and might allow him to recover at least some of his value. Perhaps the Ms can reduce Figgins' playing time while he, at the same time, reworks his hitting approach.
If Figgins isn't an everyday third baseman, it's time to figure out what he can be.
