(Besides it doesn't matter ;) )

I may have an open DH spot soon for the first time in a dozen+ seasons.

Seeing as it's been so long, I'm not sure how to rate fielding, range and arm vs handedness at 1B

11/17/5 R/R
or 9/14/9 L/L

Which should let his glove get moldy?

The Moo Cows would pick the right handed defender to play first base because I think he's the better defender at the position of first base. I used "fetches" because it's language a naughty dog would understand. I put the "z" on the end of those words because it's language a "Naughty Dawg" would understand.

I want offensive production from a 1B. I'd use the best bat of the two.

But just think, there is expectation of the 3B to occasionally get a foul ball and the same is right about the 1B. But the 1B is involved in 1,200 FAs a year which is forgotten sometimes.

So, I'd write the righty into the lineup IF the offensive production from the two was the same.

Still thinking ... any way it's sliced both are in the lineup. Offense (no offense) is pretty similar in very different ways.

R/R (11/17/5) - Steve "The Flyin Hawaiian" Iwakuma
- not sure if I'll live long enough to see a better leadoff hitter

L/L (9/14/9) -
Calvin "and Hobbes, Griffon" Dolf
- I do feel like my team is lacking some power

RE: 3B - If we could expand the foul territory on one side, that would get very interesting

Iwakuma is currently the better 1B (3.0 position skill and a nice FPC). However, Dolf is younger. His FPC isn't as good, but that may be partly due to his 2.2 position skill. I think Iwakuma will turn out to be the best 1B, but Dolf could get better with some experience. Comes down to now/then. Dolf can contribute for more seasons if you train him up now, but Iwakuma is better right now.
