I have carried out a Forum Search for anything on this, but it came up with zero matches. Regarding pitchers, just what is Platoon Duty?

Pitchers don't platoon, position players do. Say you have 2 third basemen with comparable fielding ability. One hits the heck out of right handed pitching, the other hits better against lefties. A manager will "platoon" these players so one starts against righties and the other against lefties. They don't play every game, but share the position depending on the situation.

Ok thanks for that, funny thing is though, I've seen platoon duty mentioned several times for some of my pitchers.

In what context? I can't remember seeing this in the game for pitchers... which screen is it on?

Hmmm, I think maybe I'm getting confused with a scouting line from OOTP 6.5, as I own and play that game too.

The reason I switched to Puresim is that I found OOTP to be a little too complex for me, and Puresim looks that little bit easier, especially without the waivers and other complicated stuff included in the game.
