Has anyone ever drafted a team with all GREAT hitters and crappy fielders?

Surely someone has...I'd be interested to know how that worked.

I had a team like this in the Random Captain league. My captain was Bert Cunningham (played 1887-1901) and I had to draft a team made up of his teammates. Some great hitters there -- led the league in Runs, BA, OBP -- but the 346 errors killed any playoff chances the team had. Keep in mind, nobody played even an inning out of position all season. Finished 76-86.

I once made a team for sim match up with all A/D- fielders. They were pretty good, but not spectacular.

i was in a league where you either had to have b or better or c or worse. whichever way you chose, no player could have any rating, at any position, better, or worse, depending on which side of the fence you chose. i went with the c or worse. i think the fielding side of the ratings is much more predictable, much truer to form. players who made a lot of errors in RL, made a lot of errors in the SIM. range is much less predictable. Painting with a very broad brush, my opinion is that the ratings don't matter as much as they should. generally, if you stay in the middle of the pack, you'll be ok. but i have had excellent defensive results, personally, and there is also a great deal of anecdotal evidence in the forums, that A+++ OF's can be worthwhile in any of the larger outfields. D rated firlders won't kill you, but D- fielders might. Look at some of the 19teen infielders...Honus will hit, but do you want 60+ errors from your SS?
