I've got an extra catcher

January 20, 2011 at 03:39AM View BBCode

I'd like to trade the 4.25M dollar man [url=http://beta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=61421]Dick Hudson[/url], though I suppose I could use him as a 3B ...

I want pitching in return. Similarly aged/skilled/priced/whatever. Just a pitcher really. Thanks all.

Yeah ... it is a good hitter. I guess I will just keep it.

you would do better to move your centerfielder to second base. it will make the conversion faster than the catcher and will not suck nearly as bad. not even close to sucking as bad, the catcher won't convert to second base, ever, before its fake teeth fall out, and i mean to tell you, it will suck profoundly at second base. it (the catcher) will be a perfectly reasonable first baseman.

Thanks for the tip. I'll make that change right away. :)

putting catchers at second or ss is just death. even if they have range, they make an absolute ton of errors, and convert glacially. cf to second base, with a- range. not very difficult, and gives back far, far, far fewer errors (and has less effect on the double plays, plus minus plays, etc.)

Yeah, I just kind of threw that lineup together before the day 4 bids to see if I needed to sign anyone else or not. It is much better putting the catcher at 1B, as you suggest.
