I had kind of intuited how the fielding ratings work, but it helps to have Syd confirm it. I use these split ratings a lot with lower minor leaguers, where players will frequently have low-ish ratings at several positions. (It’s like he hasn’t decided, or the organization hasn’t figure out, where to use him.). So, what I do is take, for example, the guy who is 25/45 at 2B and 25/70 at SS and 35/60 at 3B and make him the starting shortstop. (I change his primary position to SS, I lock SS as his position under the player strategy tab, and I put him in the lineup at SS, and post the daily lineups. That way, instead of trying to become the ultimate utility player, “Jack of all trades master of none”, he should, as Syd suggests, begin to improve his SS defensive rating. None of this, of course, will make him hit, LOL.
