45/80 just means they are a bit worse than the average CF defensively.
(I thought I knew this to be true. Now, I'm not sure. The manual says that overall ratings are relative to other players at that position. Is that true of the component ratings, as well? The manual is unclear. https://manuals.ootpdevelopments.com...overall_rating) |
45/80 means slightly worse than the median position player at that position *overall*, meaning that you're balancing the regular players with the guys who can technically play there with a 20 or a 25 but who really, really should not. And since this is on a per-player, not a per-innings-played basis, you're looking at, basically, half of a bell curve. At the 45/80 level you're about at the point to where there are still many players rated highly at the position, enough that most of them will probably be starting, and so your 45/80 guy will wind up being one of the worst, if not the worst, starters in your league.
That means that for CFs and SSs in particular, you really shouldn't play around with a lot of 45/80s unless they are *really* good on offense and even then you'll probably want to move them to a position they're more comfortable at sooner or later.
