Its just that I'm a programmer so I have a tendency to think that way. Also the only other online game I play is RedZoneAction, and Pete likes to be really cagey with his answers, so I was suffering from a little sample bias |

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9568 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | Neatpicking is not a word. You meant Nitpicking. Sorry if I'm nitpicking. If I train a guy in OF, he is trained to play CF, LF, and RF. Therefore, he receives training in 3 positions for the price of one. Technically 2B, SS, LF, CF, and RF are 5 positions, which is why I made the joke. Sorry if it went over your head. Updated Tuesday, March 10 2015 @ 10:49:19 pm PDT |

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9568 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | I have plenty of OF, but as Steve has confirmed, there is absolutely no downside to training a position. Why wouldn't I train him OF. Even if he never plays I don't lose anything. If a freak car accident puts 4 of my OF in the hospital there is a tiny chance that it could be useful for him to be trained in the OF. No downside vs. infinitesimal upside; seems like a no brainer to me. | ||

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9568 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | Also, yes I have several guys who will be better 2B. This guy is destine for a utility role at best. This guy will be better; he is a 2B, currently training to become a borderline SS. This guy will be better and will cap his 2B training soon; of course he might not end up playing 2B. This guy will be better; should be getting his 2b next season. This guy will be much better; been training at 2B since he was 16. Those last two are definitely targeted for 2B (with their weak arms), and both of them should become much better hitters than Infante. Of course they are all still question marks at Plate Discipline, which is the main reason Infante hasn't been cut yet. Updated Wednesday, March 11 2015 @ 10:03:23 pm PDT |
