I can't imagine Saunders is a part of a platoon. You can't let the kid spend a year not facing left-handed pitching. I would imagine the plan is that Bradley plays in LF and Griffey DHs vs right handers. Then you go with Byrnes in LF and Bradley at DH vs lefties.
Langerhans remains the fourth outfielder.
Of course things could change if Saunders mashes in spring training and/or Byrnes and Langerhans are terrible.
I just can't buy into a straight platoon of Saunders/Byrnes in left field. It would likely provide the best results, but I don't think it helps Saunders long term.
