I haven't read "the book", I'm also not from a baseball country, but I know that I'd usually should look for the handedness split, but that isn't always sensible.
For example against lefties I platoon my switch-hitting, basically a lefty from platoon splits DH/1B and one of my lefty outfielders to the bench. The fattie hits as fatties do, for power, the outfielder is fast and hits for contact. Against a righty reliever, I then have to choose from this 2 guys if I want to pinch-hit, which I usually do, seeing that these guys are starters against righties.
Well, sometimes you want contact, sometimes power, but if I'm unsure this could make the difference - if it is modeled!
