I use a very simply formula using PO, A, +, - and E for OF and A, +, - and E for IF then divide by Innings played to determine how many "positive" plays a player makes per inning.   It's not advanced by any means but it helped me realize that a heavy-hitting rock won't do much damage in RF.   And that you better be strong at SS/2B.
Using this formula, I have a Positive Plays Per Season.    The team I took over after 40 games is the best example as he had LH MIF and I'm using a C in RF because the team just blows.   Anyway, here's the chart:

It's pretty simple but it gives me a good idea where I can play versatile guys and get the most positive results.
