My plan is to just swap the positions around for my current fielders to get some training on the other positions for all of them, making them more ready for future if I ever want to change them to another position due to roster change.
Last Sunday, I was intending to put my current 3B, 77 Vinny Castilla on 1B and get another 3B with better fielding stat(or just any infielder with great fielding and jam him into 3B) but I can't find any suitable cards on AH so I got desperate and bought a 77 Keith Hernandez to field 1B. It's a worthwhile purchase because he has 3.9 WAR so far but I sort of broke my house rules with that. So I am a little guilty and I am trying to search for a new 1B or 3B and pull Hernandez out of lineup. Or a new outfielder for DiMaggio, I guess.
My house rule is to keep the team as national and ethnicity as diverse as possible and my initial plan is to have only 2 Americans for batter and only 2 Americans for pitchers at most -- preferably 1 white and 1 black. If I cannot achieve that, the "second tier" rule is to keep their heritage different, which I currently am withholding with only Keith Hernandez and Dom DiMaggio as the two American players in my team. I wanted to buy a Negro League player but they were either very expensive or (the one I wanted are) not available on Sunday when I was shopping.
I am also trying to reduce the number of Dominicans in my teams but it's a tough task. They are too darn great and have the most amount of cards among foreigners. I probably have to abandon my "speed and defensive" sub-theme if I want to be more on-theme.
