It can be fantastic in the field. It has a good overall potential. Currently it is OF I should have it play on the field (1B, 2B), what would you recommend? Thanks

This guy is a left-hander and you will see from the guidance that he is not best suited to C, 2B, 3B or SS; he will receive a small penalty fielding in these positions whereas a right-hander won't. Left-handers are best suited to 1B and OF, I mostly put my best LH fielders at 1B or CF. To play in the outfield ideally you would like him to have either range (LF), arm (RF) or both (CF). In my view this guy is not ideal because of his below average range and arm values but can provide cover (or plug a gap in your line-up) in any of these positions because of his fielding skills. Where you put him will depend on the fielding strength of the other players on your roster. If he was mine, I would train him as 1B and / or OF depending on where you have most need.

And never be afraid to ask for help around here About the player, I don't know about the rest of your minors roster (might be not too good since you just started), but this guy will never make the majors, even in LL VI. Fielding will be wasted since as leftie he can't play infield, and he has no range and arm for outfield. Could play DH, but with 12 potential and a lot of points wasted into fielding, that's not good too. I think you can find better players than him on free agent market.

The bigger question is will his bat be good enough to put him there? Without a positive hitting comment, the answer is probably no. It's possible, just not probable. You have two or three other guys in your minors that could go before him. I'm not sure why you still have Hudson. A 9 overall pitcher is an easy cut no matter what. I would also likely get rid of Kane and Hickman before Zhang. The other 11s are close, too. Updated Monday, June 11 2018 @ 4:20:56 am PDT
