I would prefer the better overall outfield defense, and especially Mays in CF, so I will try it.
I don't platoon enough and I really should platoon Brett at 1B and maybe Boggs too. I had avoided Aaron playing 1B against lefties because of the defense there, but maybe I should try it.
Thanks for the suggestions! |
I know it is very hard to platoon or either bench a legend, but the game engine doesn't look at names but only numbers.
Moreover, I now think that contact and eye are way more important than power, especially in perfect leagues where most pitchers suppress home runs easily. This is why you see guys like SE Appling or Charleston play so well and put up very good numbers.
Like you, I'm willing to sacrifice a little bit of offense for superior defence, but that goes down to personal taste.
This is how Charleston has performed for me, considering also that I play him at RF that's not his ideal position.
