I also find it very interesting. I find myself with this info in the back of my head as I plan out each season now.

One of my teams, my 2nd best player is a C, but my best player is also a C. He's young and played very little last season I guess hes going to be my RF this season.

You should update us on how he does mitch. Give us more data on how well/poorly these types do in RF.

I used Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Cesar Mesa for the last 7 games of the season in Coop.   He fell in line with Nieves.

It's really interesting.  I've been playing a poor mans CF in LF for awhile now, and putting my worst defensive OF in RF for about the same duration, but haven't tried such as obvious poor defensive player in RF yet.  I'll have to give it a  go soon. 
6/29/2012 12:12 PM
Season over.   Nieves cost me about 50 positive plays in RF and 80 in LF.   Pearson was 10 over average in RF and over 60 in LF.   This is based on a full 162 game, 9 inning season.

In summation, if you buy into the "each out is worth about 2/3 of a run" theory, you'd need your C playing RF to produce about 35 more runs than a normal RF for it to be worthwhile.
7/6/2012 9:13 AM
My guy TerryParris is a COF with defensive numbers of 64-47-72-59.  You would think that he would do just fine in RF, but he seems to do much better in LF.   In 1637 MOB LF innings he's had 5 plus plays and 3 minus plays.  In 1346 RF innings he's had 1 plus play and 8 minus plays.

Why the difference?

On the PPPS scale he's had 367 in 1637 innings in LF, 200 in 1346 innings in RF.  That works out to 328/162 full games in LF, slightly better than Mike's averages, and 218/162 games in RF, slightly below Mike's averages.

His range is considerably better than the recommended LF base range (55) and his arm is way better.  He's right at the base range for RF (64) and hhis arm is only slightly better.

Comments?

It's the 59 A/A.   I haven't quite been able to pinpoint how low you can go but arm seems more important in RF than Range/glove.

7/6/2012 5:10 PM
Also, keep in mind that your pitching will affect your OF numbers so it's better to compare specific team averages to determine how much a guy helps/hurts you.

Posted by MikeT23 on 6/20/2012 9:19:00 AM (view original):
Had a little time last night so I went back 10 seasons in MG for OF numbers.   The PPPS averages were as follows:
CF-398.8
LF-318.3
RF-231.4

The high-end CF(using 500 innings minimum) were high range, good glove players.  No real shocker there.   90 range, 80+ glove.

The high-end LF were also range/glove guys.  They were more failed CF/2B with 70+ range/glove.   I know, for a fact, that  you can get even more from high range/lower glove guys(85/65) in LF.   Arm doesn't seem to matter much in LF/CF.

The high-end RF were arm guys.   I hadn't ever thought of using C/DH-types in RF but I did use a handful of 65/35 range/glove guys.  The big difference in plays made came from the arm.   I'd been thinking RF along the lines of LF(range makes up for other shortcomings) but that is flat-out wrong in RF.  The players with the 50/50 arm just don't make the plays that the 65/65 arm players do regardless of R/G numbers.

So, in summation, I think you can use the 8/22/65/65/41 C in RF but not the low level 1B/DH 35/41/38/29 out there with limited negatives.  I'll revisit this as I get a bigger sample size.
This.
