Even after many years of play, if you ask 5 experienced managers you would likely get 5 different responses. For me, "good" means 15. I try to have that much range on my middle infielders and outfielders, that much arm on my RF and 3B. More is better. But every manager develops their own thresholds through experience. And then you get into territory where a player is close (eg., a 12 arm 3B), and you have to ask yourself if his other assets offset the small shortfall. Leads to a lot of fun decisions (victories and disasters).

Like Catcher, First Base, its more of a hitting position to me. For C I want a 16 arm. 1B I merely try to have someone who throws LH. SS I want 16/16/16. Hitting .200 isnt ideal, but would be acceptable for a great fielding SS. I am sure its a crappy strategy, but my 32 win team has no problem plugging players with no experience there if they meet the A/F/R. Thing. Right now I am playing a 1B in the outfield because either I am an idiot or it will help him find a more suitable position on my team lol

Bottom 9: Marquez allows a passed ball. Armendariz comes in to score. Crowley advances to second base. Knoxville 9, New Braunfels 10 I'll be practicing my crying though. I am sure it will be needed
