In the draft thread there are questions about arm for catcher and range for outfielders. My team won a legends pennant with a corner outfielders with below 10 range. If the guy can really hit and drive in runs and you think that is worth the extra balls that drop in for hits against you.. Then there is nothing wrong with that. Same theory for defence. How many errors equals 20-30 more RBI's? Catchers with bad arms can work out too. So he throws out 24% of the base stealers instead of 35% but maybe he hits 40 points higher or has 20 more HR's than your second option. (see YouTube video of Greg Maddox explaining why he doesn't bother with holding runners from stealing.. Lol) Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to get the best chance of putting wins on the board even if it goes against current consensus theory. Only one stat matters at the end of the game. |
