Did we ever agree on glove vs range for second basemen? It seems like range is a bigger deal for most positions, but I thought there was a camp amongst us who thought glove might be more important there, specifically.
Glove...  Although you don't want to get too far in one direction or the other.  Below 75 in either is a problem and below 70 in either is a real problem.
I'm just debating the merits of putting a high glove player there or a high range. I have two converted shortstops, and they'll be between 2nd and 3rd.
Id also probably rather have a better glove at 2B, and more range at 3B.  Are they comparable offensively?

I completely altered my team in shtickless last season. It paid some dividends, but not what I had hoped. I should have beaten Milwaukee but there were a couple of iffy wins in there. I would blow him out, but he'd squeek by with a late inning win in the next game.
Yeah, his team was a shocker.

That being said, I tried to tank and made the WS.

One is better offensively, but they'd both be playing regardless.

He got by in low-scoring close games. He had a few horses and they came through. It was tough.

We did agree it's a down season, but I wonder how much of that is talent dispersal.

They're both not quite shortstops, and could probably play either position well. One has a mid-80's range and high 70's glove. The other has high 70's range and high 80's glove. The arms are comparable.

I might go back and forth with it. I'm not quite sure yet.

Thats probably how I'd play it also.  My future $ lineup will have a converted SS playing 2B and a more pure 3B at 3B
