Left handed throwing 2nd baseman.

Generally a no-no in regular baseball. Is there any kind of built in disadvantage built into Simdynasty to emulate this through either a negative to range or arm when you employ a left handed throwing 2nd baseman?

I don't believe so. I personally never switch left-handed throwing players to 2B, SS, or 3B, but I've seen plenty of them win gold gloves.

I don't think the code factors in lefty vs righty on defense. That would be pretty cool if it did!

I believe I can say with a quite high level of confidence that handedness plays ZERO factor in the sim's defensive code.

I think the only place that even matters at all is which hand a pitcher uses, which will determine which set of attributes the hitter uses.
