Okay, but this is SO DUMB if it influences OVR rating more than 1 or 2 points. So you're telling me that if a 3Bman is an MVP caliber hitter and isn't great at turning a double play that he would be considered barely average?!?



Do you remember Miguel Cabrera in 2013? He played most of the year at 3B and wasn't great defensively. He was considered average that year, right? NO! He won the MVP!!! It's because hitting is so much more important than fielding in everyone not associated with OOTP's eyes
