What would you expect the difference to be between these three players used as everyday corner outfielders?

Player A: Has OF ratings only D/D+
Player B: Has 1B ratings only A+/B+
Player C: Has 1B ratings only A/C

I think player B would be basically a neutral corner OF, few +/- plays and errors.

player c is going to have 10 or more - plays.

player A is just going to be regular bad.

I have no problem playing guys like A and B in progressive league. C would need to be a significant batting upgrade over A and B to play for me.

So let's say I want to play Player B and Player C, one at 1B and one in LF. Which one would you put where?

I’d put c and 1b. I don’t think the B+ range is going to get you many + plays

My experience years ago:

At the SkyDome:

2000 Todd Helton A-, B- (.995 fld%, 9.88 rff)

154 G in LF, 15 errors (.941 fld%) 4 + plays, 0 - plays


2003 Carlos Delgado B, B+ (.993 fld%, 10.20 rff)

145 G in RF, 7 errors (.971 fld%) 2 + plays, 1 - plays


At Coors:


2004 Albert Pujols B, A+ (.994 fld%, 11.90 rff)

155 G in RF, 13 errors (.941 fld%) 19 + plays, 0 - plays

He was on pace for like 35 + plays midway thru the season but all of a sudden stopped making them
