The platoon is the obvious best play, but I doubt we go all in with it.

It's hard to break it down because WAR is an aggregate stat that needs larger samples ... but over the course of a season in which Infante hits like he has this year, Rios hits at his July level, and Zobrist is his usual self, you'd be talking about picking up maybe 2-3 wins over the course of a season (2 WAR from a .740 OPS Rios, 4-5 WAR from Zobrist, 0-1 WAR from Infante).

Over the course of a half-season, obviously, the totals are going to be lower. You're probably only talking about a 1-1.5 win difference.
