Where do you folks think he'll be best suited for? My guess is 3rd, but I'm curious to see what others think and why? Thanks gang!

Bayer is OF all the way, but I'm doubtful he'll ever produce much at the plate. But holy smokes! What do you do to draft the guys you do? What the heck?! Since 2041 your best guys are 14, 14, 14, 13, 13, 14, 13, 14, 16, 14, 15, 13, 13, 13. The best I've seen by a wide, wide margin.

I'm still stuck in League six though-in a word, pitching. I'm working on that... Quite a few of those guys potentials though, the 16 and some others, have been brought down a level in future reports. My 16 is now a 15, a couple 14 went to 13, and so on. Interestingly, my best offensive player over the past 3 seasons has been a 12 Potential. He hit .315/99R/37HR/124RBI last year to receive an All League award. I still don't completely understand how a guy like him, with his modestly decent hitting skills - 18 Hit/8 BC/7 PD/15 Power - can be my best offensive player.

Your guy has a really good hitting stat, which helps. Beyond that, some guys just hit better or worse than their stats would predict.
