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.


1975. 20 teams. rating scale 1 - 20

25 CFs rated 11+
31 OFs rated 11+ at CF

17 CFs rated 1 - 10
68 OFs rated 1 - 10 at CF

OK so let's cut off the bottom end, the guys who really have no chance of playing except for a team with so many injuries it called up all the AAA guys.

17 CFs rated 5 - 10
42 OFs rated 5 - 10 at CF
