Okay, so these two positions are the only ones that seem clearly interchangable to me. So who do you put where? The 'league averages' that the sim bases its error rate and plus plays off of has higher fld and rng rating for the CFer, but I think I would rather have the better of two players at 2nd.

2B gets more opportunities.   That said, you can't just say what's "better".     Assuming same arm, I'd put a 91/74 in CF if my other option was 83/74.  Range in CF, glove at 2B.

Put the lefty in CF and the righty at 2B

Arm seems to be more important at 2B, which is counterintuitive.

+1.

Plus, as cjlancaster points out, you don't want a LH2B, while there's no problem with a LHCF.  So the two are not always "clearly interchangable".

Could you put a lefty at 1B?  A handful of lefties play first in the majors... not sure if WIS is kind to LH 1b.

Of course you can put a lefty at 1B. The only reason that they cannot play the other IF positions is the throw. HBD has quite a few LH 1B.

I like to put the guy with the lower temper out in CF, that way he can't get kicked out for punching a runner who slides in hard at 2B.

Aside from this being a terrible reason to select you 2B and CF.....

HIGH TEMPER RATING = ANGRY MILTON BRADLEY

LOW TEMPER = EXTRA FROM DAZED AND CONFUSED

Lefties actually have a slight advantage at 1B when it comes to the ol' 3-6-3 double play.... so... uh...... yeah.  Feel free.

Do you have video to prove it?

Really?  You're saying don't base fielding decisions on temper?  Interesting....

I'm saying that you are backwards on what high and low temper ratings mean.

Yes.

I'll post it as soon as I find the cable.

Being LH is advantageous for 1B for holding runners. The glove is on the bag side while facing the pitcher. For turning a 3-6-3, there is far less turning to throw and run back to the base for a lefty.
