Who are some of the best players who maybe aren't great overall but they are really good hitters against either lefties or righties?

Joc Pederson destroys righties...

This is a great topic. Interested to see the suggestions.

Some that come to mind are:

Chris Johnson 1B Orioles

Martin Prado 3B Marlins

Derek Dietrich IF Marlins

Nomar Mazara OF Rangers

David Peralta OF Diamondbacks

Yasmany Toma OF Diamondbacks

Marcus Semien SS Athletics

Mark Canha OF Athletics

Hyun Soo Kim OF Orioles

Matt Adams 1B Braves

Scooter Gennett 2B Reds

Alex Avila C Tigers

Steven Voght C Brewers

Michael Conforto OF Mets

Lucas Duda 1B Mets

I'll also add in Marwin Gonzalez from Houston. He can play almost every position, great guy to have to get some regular guys a day off.

Alex Castellanos. This guy plays every damn position and is a good contact hitter and has speed. Highly recommended.

Brock Holt. Probably my favorite platoon/all around utility guy in the game today.

Two key guys on my DD team that I can move around the infield are Anthony Rendon (can play 3B, 2B and 1B) and Jose Ramirez (can play 3B, SS and 2B).

Brandon Guyer OF Indians

Adam Lind 1B Nationals

I think the OP wanted guys who only hit well against either right or left handed pitchers. That would create a need to pair him with someone else who could hit the opposite.

The last couple suggestions are more utility type guys who can play multiple positions. I love getting Brock Holt for this reason but he doesn't really fit the platoon scenario since his contact is pretty even versus righties and lefties.
