Matt Weaver can play almost any position. I have him starting at 3B against lefties and starting at 1B against righties because of matchup ratings with my other players.

 

[OU11]

Plug him in the weakest defensive spot after filling the other positions?

What this guy said

 

[Orlando]

Its a prospect. He has no position ratings anywhere in the infield, but has the raw ratings to play there.

My question is, how to handle him. Should I just bounce him around defensively all season? Will that hurt development?

 

[Wolfman21]

looks like a 1B to me

 

[Orlando]

wat

 

[Wolfman21]

I mean, you could try him at 3B as well...but his DP rating is middle school level. I wouldn't put him at a middle infield spot to save my life.

 

[Orlando]

1B seems like a waste. I'll keep him in the OF and maybe give him some time at 3B.

 

[doh]

Yeah unless you want to break ground with a Lefty 3B he's a 1B/OF. You need turn DP to be any good as a MIF too.

If I have a good raw ratings/no good real fielding ratings guy, I usually play him at a position he will do well in and I don't have a lot of prospects there. That is if he can hit. If he's a fringe hitter then I split the positions I play him.

 

[Orlando]

I forgot he was left handed. Good point. I'll keep him in the OF.

Turn DP just seems like something you should be able to learn. Its an odd thing to have a static rating attached to.

 

[OU11]

1B seems like a waste. I'll keep him in the OF and maybe give him some time at 3B.

Id let him go at 2B for a bit just to see.

 

[Orlando]

Him being left handed is probably why the turn DP is so bad. That's like and impossible move to make left handed.

 

[OU11]

Believe in him

 

[doh]

Try him at 3B.

 

[Gooksta]

Alright. How do you handle a player that could play nearly every position?

Trade em away for 12th round picks... Oh Hai. Btw I have a 12th round pick

 

[Orlando]

Try him at 3B.

Yeah I probably will since it would be a cool story. I imagine he would play fine at 2B or SS, but we would never turn a double-play

 

[OU11]

Make sure you write a wendellesque journey story through the minors for him

 

[Orlando]

i miss wendell

 

[doh]

Yeah I probably will since it would be a cool story. I imagine he would play fine at 2B or SS, but we would never turn a double-play

He'd have horrific ZR numbers at 2B/SS… I think he could be decent at 3B.

 

[fignuts]

Stud 3B. Above-avg OF for 'Frenchie'.

 

[Orlando]

Hard to say how his ZR numbers would be. I'm curious to see how it works out. His arm is fine, and his range and errors are great. Maybe he just never throws to 2B and records a ton of outs. His ZR would be fine. Gonna see how he does after I get his OF ratings up a bit more.

I think his bat plays anywhere. Just trying to maximize the opportunities in the WBL.

 

[Gooksta]

Lol @ any left handed inf that plays anywhere but 1b

 

[Orlando]

You gotta admit it would make for a great dynasty.

 

[OU11]

File is obviously up, and abdul alim is back on the market

 

[Rutgers Mike]

We got one.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

File is obviously up, and abdul alim is back on the market

What happened to the alim trade?

 

[OU11]

Infante said no

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Infante said no

If I had the money I'd pair him up with his brother.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Infante said no

Pancho for Alim. And you can take a pick

 

[OU11]

Dont need him

 

[jdlikewhoa]

What do you need OU

 

[Gooksta]

What do you need OU

For Dublin to make a pick in the draft

 

[OU11]

Nothing, so i just have to like someone. Pancho doesnt do it for me

 

[Gooksta]

Can go to 3 days if you want. Getting tired of waiting for this guy to sign

 

[jdlikewhoa]

I have the budget space for alim even with Pancho. I was just asking what itd take. Remove him from the equation

haha we've been going 3 days this whole time.

Good prospect.

 

[NML]

Need a lefty-smashing outfielder.

Submitted my last offer on Phil Thomas, but probably just going to let Key West have him, so I need another plan.

 

[OU11]

So that's who gook is going on about

 

[jdlikewhoa]

I assumed he was talking about Marrero or Rapley.

 

[Orlando]

JD you still going to try to sign Rapley?

 

[jdlikewhoa]

JD you still going to try to sign Rapley?

You and your assumptions @Orlando

 

[Orlando]

Wat

 

[Yankee151]

Quite assuming Orlando

Meant to put Quit, but this works better

 

[Orlando]

I didn't assume anything. I inquired.

 

[osick87]

Well it appears I have improved my Bullpen enough.

 

[doh]

OU with the Dizzy Perez play after the great debate on here. Also going after my boy Kahl. Two nice back end rotation pieces as he continues to fleece the league.

Also I'm looking for a SP.

 

[Gooksta]

I wanted Perez.. couldn't match Ou offer. DAMN U AMSTERDAM! **FIST RAISED**

 

[OU11]

I have too much money and too many perfectly thought out and constructed contracts.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

If he hasnt benched him before the playoffs even come around, Dizzy will likely cost OU a threepeat.

 

[OU11]

If nobody takes my guys I'll have him in AAA and a 4 man of Torres/Okada/Nico/Wong and Karpetbomber/De Coster/Bin Abbudin/Fabian in the pen

 

[osick87]

Dizzy was going to be my 5th Starter. Good pickup.
