if you do have a couple versatile if/of guys + catcher, you can go with a more specialized role for 1 of your bench players.

a power lefty bat, for just one example -- not that you can expect a starter-quality guy on your bench, but it offers a possible 'better' option in certain late inning / high leverage moments.

i focus on speed and versatility on my bench. i avoid platoons as much as possible, but that will trump a preferred bench player anyday, if necessary. have to consider weight of use... 2guys @ 150-160g, or 1 guy @ 20-40g... so, don't overthink the bench. it'll be pure luck for that quality of player to perform well in there small sample of results.
