Like I said, I can see the argument for the C, and I'm not surprised you would have him rated more highly because you put a premium on his skill set, but I wouldn't take the LF over Wallace, and we must differ somewhere with projections on either Wallace or Brace Johnson, because I have Wallace being as good or better at almost literally everything.

Reviewing my slotting, Im not exactly sure why I moved Brace over Bruce, maybe Durability and Health?  Other than that, they project to be fairly similar players to Max Cedeno

Johnson does have the advantages in those areas, but Wallace isn' t weak in either, so I don't see it as anything to differentiate. The only skill where Johnson has an edge is baserunning, and IMO that's nowhere near enough to compensate for Wallace's defensive edge, and the fact that Wallace is a switch hitter will mean they aren't as close offensively as their ratings appear at the surface.

Yep

Every time I look at that Sheets/Duran thing, I go back and forth on which positions they should play. 

Duran at 3rd and Sheets at 2nd.

Yeah, I know that's how most would do it, but I'm trying out a theory.  Want to get at least a half season of this approach, and then, in all likelihood will change it up.

I could not see Wallace, I had Brace rated #1 on my board.  But I put a big premium on speed and baserunning.  Brace Johnson's defensive skills likely make him a Left Fielder, but a premium base stealer and base runner who can consistantly score 100+ runs per season.

You are probably better off not trusting your theories.

for what i had in scouting, i'm pleased. especially the P i got at 50

It was a pretty decent draft.

I can't imagine ever going below "average" in the baserunning settings.

I really only value baserunning when my team sucks.  Once I have good hitters, I crank it way down.

I value good baserunning.  But I guess that is the result of growing up a Cardinal fan in the Whitey Herzog era.
