I'm seeing them as a LF/DH combo. The issue is, who goes where? Ely has better range and anarm, so he seems the likely candidate especially since fielding attributes aren't as big a factor in the OF. But an Atrocious fielder rating still makes me uneasy. Lynch has a Below average fielding rating which is better but his range is too low and his arm is a noodle. I'll have a defensive liability in LF no matter who i pick, i'm just looking for input on which guy you would pick.

I would consider training Lynch for 1B although you really don't want to play him in the field. Edit: I had a DH, Sam Conners, ID #105144. Also atrocious fielder. I played him at DH only. I let him go 3 seasons ago. It was a tough cut for me. Since then, the team that picked him up has played him in RF and at 1B. Although I wouldn't put him in the field, you can look him up and see what a 5 fielding atrocious fielder looks like since the cut. Updated Saturday, January 21 2017 @ 10:15:35 am PST
