I get a lot of satisfaction from picking up guys with good contact ratings and good defense, but little else. I can usually grab one for about $300k, and throw them out in CF or SS and have get a solid contribution out of him both offensively and defensively for cheap.
In one of my solo leagues, I had a guy who I signed to a 1yr contract. He had just average ratings all around and good defensive ratings. He provided adequate offense for a 2b and won a gold glove. I didn't extend him. The next free agent period, nobody picked him up and so I grabbed him for cheap again. In the end, I signed him to 6 straight 1yr contracts (using extensions towards the end), and he provided the same offense every year and won the GG every year until he retired after his age 42 season.
