Who plays 1st? Topic

Player A: OF rating B/D+ (.985/1.95) 1990s
Player B: 1B rating D/D (.974/.904) 1920s

1 of those guys has to start at 1B. The other starts at DH.

I have used similar OFers at 1B before, such as Manny Ramirez, Tony Gwynn, & Bonds...

I have used Edgar Martinez & Frank Thomas at 1B before

I don't think there will be much of a difference tbh...

What do you think?

Raw translation with monkey math has your OF at a .970 FLD% at 1B, so the other guy should be slightly better defensively, especially if there’s more modern pitching, but it’s close to a wash.

Yeah, I think your OF is going to be about a D/D- (on the high end of both) so it doesn't really matter. But remember that you can play DHs down to a lower fatigue level (since you're not hurting their fielding), in case that matters

What's on second.............

Yeah. I realized that I actually have a D/D 1B starting in another league right now and he has 4 errors and 4 negative plays in 87 games... I can live with that. I'm going to start the 1B at 1B.
Thanks for the input

Is it possible that there are people here young enough to not get the "Who's On First?" reference?

Just in case:
