My friends, my friends.

I recently picked up a "LF" in a trade. I really like the guy as my leadoff hitter of the future - he's currently in LoA. I'm wondering if I can play him at 2B, 'cause I have a potential 1B/LF/RF in my ranks.

His Projections: ~85 range, ~60 glove, ~45 arm strength, ~55 arm accuracy. I have a great Fielding Coach and play in AT&T park.

Yes, he's not a defensive stud for sure. But I'm wondering if I can swing it. Anyone else have any experience with similar second baseman? Thanks!

First guy is/was 82 range. 68-70 glove. Essentially played three full seasons at 2B. 37 errors, 8 negative.
Second guy was 78 range, 59-60 glove. Only 17 games with 1 error. But his RF was low at 3.72 so he didn't get many chances.
I'd expect your guy to make 25ish errors.

Make sure the guy throws righthanded. Appropriately large penalty for playing a lefty thrower at 2B, and if he's listed as LF that may be the reason.

Someone needs to bump the LH 2B thread.

That was a classic.
