How about playing players in positions they are not qualified for? Do it at your own defensive risk or is it not allowed?
I didn't state it in the rules, but I am 100% against playing guys out of position. I'd prefer it not happen and would likely make it an official rule if necessary.
I agree with that. It goes against everything that this is technically about. Should put this to a vote.
sometimes you have to...not to tank.....just like a real life team.......i have used infielders at diff postions in good faith out of necessity....
i dont like to see anybody but a catcher play catcher or outfielders playing 2b or 3b or ss.
sometimes a 3b can be very effective at 2b. for example....or an of playing 1b.
I guess to me its more the catching position so one doesnt need to fill a roster spot with a .196 hitting sub 1 million dollar Catcher and stock up on a more stat generating player and put him behind the plate.... I dunno.

Filling a roster spot with a .196 hitting sub is part of building a team. That's baseball sometimes.

you have to have sufficient pa for catcher......475 if there are AAA......625 without.
thats where you get guys with 150 pb...thats wrong.

I agree with you. I'm saying that I don't agree with picking a extra outfielder/infielder that's a good hitter and playing him at C to avoid picking that .196 backup Catcher. That's why I was suggesting a Catcher rule.

Just wanted to know what people thought on the topic.

I've never been in a league where that was required, everyone played on the up and up. I would impose a rule if necessary.

I drafted knowing I had to have enough PA to cover all positions...that meant sometimes passing up something better...everyone else should have to do the same rather than playing guys out of position..
