Two players, both throw right-handed:

Player A
Range: 83
Glove: 94
Arm Strength: 60
Accuracy: 72

Player B
Range: 80
Glove: 81
Arm Strength: 56
Accuracy: 60

Which do you put at 2B, and which do you put in CF?

Initially, I would've thought Player A at 2B, since I assume they get more fielding chances (I assume), but am I wasting his arm strength and accuracy there?

Better glove at 2B.  2B get 4-5 chances per game, CF gets 2-3.

Player A at 2b BECAUSE of the superior arm accuracy.  More chances, more throws to make errors on.  Besides, unless they've fixed the bug about OFs not making throwing errors, arm accuracy in the OF is somewhat devalued in HBD relative to real life.

 There's a way to check that (if they've fixed the throwing errors bug), if you can dig up the link to page with the stats for all worlds combined into a single form.

Might vary from game to game depending on the GB rating of my SP that game and whether the opposing team were mostly beefy power hitters or slappers.  (With the higher ratings at 2B when I expected more GB.)
