Do you know that you would NORMALLY want your strongest outfield arm in right and why? How about situations where you'd want to sac bunt or hit and run?
I guess I don't know just how "noob" you are so please don't take offense. It just seems to me that you may be trying to learn the game tougher aspects first.

I was going to post a similar thread but I think I will just jump onto this one. I am so noob that I barely understand any of this
I am at a level now where I
think I have an idea what you are talking about but I am not really confident.
Kelric's little FAQ there about the different positions is AMAZING. Anymore excellent summaries like that anywhere for the rest of baseball or on how to play OOTP. I am seriously overwhelmed! But I am determined. I have been playing NHL Eastside Manager for years now and I am in love with it. But I wanted to become addicted to another major sport and I find baseball a close second to hockey. OOTP seems like a more polished and complicated version of Eastside. Add on to that complication of OOTP wth the fact that I am still learning some of the basics of baseball (let alone things like draft rules??) and we have a total NOOB here (:So any help would be appreciated!
And I already love the customization of OOTP. So awesome.
