When addressing team needs, ....

When addressing team needs, what should people perhaps normally look for, when it comes to certain positions? Currently, some of the teams I'm running as various human managers need better options at certain positions, and I've not had much success in either finding, developing, or acquiring players to fill those positions very well so far, in the relevant dynasty.

Couple of them need catchers, and at least one of them needs center fielders, at the moment, for example. But let's go position by position here, in any case, just the same.

Catcher, what should one look for, primarily, and what would you consider bonus-type things here in regards to this position, and things to watch out for, as best as possible?

First Base, same question. Would speed help here, or what?

Second Base, same question. How can one tell a good one from a bad one, at this position, most often?

Third Base, same question. Is contact or patience at the plate important to you, or speed, for this position? Or is defense typically more important to you here?

Shortstop, same question. What do you typically look for here? Speed, defense, or hitting ability, or something else?

Left Field, same question. Does it matter if they are power hitters or contact hitters more here, and is defense important here?

Center Field, same question. Do you look more for hitters or defenders here, or somewhere in-between?

Right Field, same question. What are your preferred characteristics for someone at this position, and what are your pet peeves for such players?

Starting Pitcher, especially in the days before five-man rotations. How do you prefer your starters to be? Groundballers, power pitchers, or finesse pitchers, whatever that last bit or two means?

Relief pitchers, especially with starters going longer than they typically now do, generally, in certain eras. Such as the pre-1901 years, for example?

Closers, especially in the dead-ball era, before home runs became much more common and all. What do you typically look for, and what do you typically try to avoid?

Thank you for your time, and all, and I hope to see a good number of responses to this query of mine here, folks, if possible. CD out.
