Is it best to have a player with like a 14 Fielding, 19 Range and 19 Arm, or would most prefer instead something like a 10 Fielding 14 Range and 18 Arm, thereby leaving the difference in skill points to allocate to more offensive categories like Hitting BC, PD etc? Unless that player is a 14 potential or above its difficult to have both good hitting skills and defensive skills for a CF. Like almost everything else in this game it's about tradeoffs, so where is the best tradeoff, or profile, for a Centerfold with a Potential of around 13? Thanks all. Great game!

Arm of 12 or higher is nice. My current CF is 10 Fielding, 14 Range, 14 Arm. I would prefer he had a couple more points in Range. My previous long term (14 years) CF Julio Paz peaked at 7 Fielding, 15 Range, 14 Arm. He fielded .992 in CF over his career including one golden glove. So as you can see Fielding isn't so important. Remember, most of the balls those guys are catching are in the air. Fielding only comes into play for ground balls in the OF. Updated Sunday, February 19 2023 @ 8:22:47 pm PST
