Ahh, that's what not much room for improvement means ... back to the minors for you Bones

Wish I had a problem like Cruz ...
My thought on him: drop him to AAA and play him at 3B - his range is too good to waste at C

I believe range is taken into account in the game engine as a total for all the players on the field at this point in time, so moving him to third wouldn't be critical.

Yes, Steve reiterated that recently.

I searched for the quote for 15 minutes to no avail... it's 2:30am where I am, I'm beginning to wonder if my memory is playing tricks on me or if I'm just missing the thread. It would have to have been at least two or three weeks ago though since I checked all the threads I commented on back to there, and I think I saw it due to that.

TL;DR: I give up.

Yep, ugh, this year is flying by, I can't believe that was over a month ago.

Wow! What about arm strength? I've been putting my highest ranged guy in CF, but if range doesn't matter I should probably put the highest AS guy there instead. Is speed done on aggregate for defense too? I thought play by play was calculated by position, but it sounds like that isn't actually the case. Defense? Should I bother putting a high defense guy in CF, or is that aggregate too?

This section of the manual should probably be updated because its VERY misleading:

Left Field: Left fielders (LF) need range, but not much fielding skill. A strong arm is nice, but not required.

Center Field: Center fielders (CF) generally handle more balls than the other two outfield positions and so you want your best defensive outfielder to play here. Center fielders need range, but not much fielding skill. A strong arm will prevent runners from taking extra bases.

Right Field: Right fielders (RF) need some range, but not much fielding skill. A strong arm is important to prevent runners from taking extra bases, especially third base which can be a long throw from right field.

Its unclear (to me) from the other thread whether the "aggregate range" is the mean range of all outfielders or a weighted mean by position. I suspect the latter, which would mean where you play your high/low range players would matter in terms of your effective defense.

Yeah, that would make more sense. If its weighted by position, then you can forget about my freak out above.
