This is a question probably best-suited for the devs ( Markus, et al ), but I'm happy to hear any data around it.
In a league draft, there's a player with the following ratings:
Pitching:
- Stuff: 40 / 70
- Mov: 50 / 70
- Ctrl: 30 / 65
- Pitches: Cutter (50/60), Changeup (55/80)
- Vel (mph) 92-94
- GB % 65%
- Stamina 40
- Hold 35
Hitting:
- Con: 45 / 70
- Gap: 55 / 70
- Pwr: 25 / 35
- Eye: 30 / 45
- Ks: 45 / 75
- Speed 65
- Steal 60
- Running 65
- OF: Range (60), Error (55), Arm (65)
So he can be a lights-out closer (at least in our league) or an amazing Ichiro-style contact/gap hitter, right?
But I'd like to use him as a two-way player, and that's where I have a few questions:
- What can I do to help him develop BOTH skill sets?
- Can the OOTP game engine handle a player who comes in from RF to close out a game?
- If so, how would I set up my team to best utilize that?
- If not... why not?

Thanks in advance!
