Is this player going to kill me at first base? I think he could put up some decent numbers at the ML level, just not sure about his defence.

I'd try him in right field before trying him at first.

Right now this is my potential outfield for this season....not seeing how I could put Fisher out there.......thoughts though?

Put Bonifacio at 1B.  Bumped a RF thread for you.    You put a C at 1B and you get 30+ negative plays. 

I'll keep that in mind, makes sense that I could hide him out there. There is a massive first basemen on the FA market and debating if I want to bid on him.  Could go for some serious coin.... Wish I played in the AL right now.....

Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Kevin Ryu is the guy I ran the experiment for.    In just over 1000 games worth of RF innings, he has 56 errors and 148 negative plays. 

My other RF, during his career, have about 665 games of innings.  13 errors, 28 negative plays. 

So would putting a catcher  with bad PC at RF, be better than just letting him play catcher? In other words is PC of 70 significantly different than PC of 40?

I believe Mike has found that for each 10 points of increase in a PC rating, the cERA will go down by .12 

So I dont have to do the math myself would a below average C defensively and PC be better suited in RF or as the C ? if the other catcher is weak offensively.

and for what its worth here is my RF

 Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Derrick Siddall

I don't think I'm benching Siddall to play the others.   He's a better hitter than any of them. 

Sorry should have mentioned that. I might move him to left. or when he starts to decline. But if I did leave him in RF , should I go with Tarraga or Snow next season

Tarraga looks like an A+ catcher.   I'd have no problem putting Snow at C either.     I think you're trying to outsmart yourself.    Personally, I'd leave both of them at C and try to find a "regular" RF who can OPS .700ish. 

I use these guys in RF:

They are all closer to .800-.950 OPS.   There is a defensive drawback from playing these guys in RF.   So they have to be capable of making up for it at the plate.  .700 OPS, IMO, won't do that.

I started the experiment for Ryu.   Here's how he's fared, for his entire career, compared to the other RF I've used during the same period on the same team:

		inn	po	A	e	Plus	neg	Total	PPPS
Ryu		9022	1202	38	56	0	148	0.115	167.4
The Rest		5990	892	40	13	15	28	0.151	220.5

thanks mike, looks like ill just have to trade one of these guys. but so far Snow's offense hasnt made up for what hes lacking defensively and PC.
