C Ability is definitely the darling of the ratings to many out there. I do believe it is quite important and it does seem to have a material impact on pitchers’ strikeout and walk rates. The question is how much does it actually impact run prevention. Personally I’m setting the line at a rating of 70 but above that I think it is a mistake to ignore offensive production. A number of people are using the Mauer FH1 card all the way up to the Perfect League. I’m giving him a shot in a platoon with Crandall at the Diamond level. His C Ability is 73 but he has a 95 arm which could be valuable with all of the speedsters in Diamond. I’ll be curious to see how it goes.
