Having a good laugh at Cater trying to play 2B. IRL he was a big slow guy who had a good stroke but no power. Little range in the field. I cannot imagine him turning a DP. Of course this is a faded memory of watching him play more than fifty years ago. And to be fair the Phils more recently had Placido Polanco as a 2B despite a lack of range but great hands and a nice stroke but little power. He unfortunately stood in the way of Chase Utley, a far better player.
