That you ignore the overall fielding at third base entirely? Or is this simplifying it too much? Maybe you consider the fielding ratings and arm is used as sort of a tiebreaker if you’re waiting to third baseman and trying to figure out which one you’d like to use?
I’m also curious how you came to your conclusions. Have people done studies where they vary just the arm strength for instance of a third baseman and run Sims with the OOTP engine and then examined the results? Or what? I’m quite curious.
Thanks again for giving me something to chew on while I think about my team… That’s a good pasttime for those frequent times when I don’t have much in the way of PP for my FTP teams! I plan and analyze so that when I have the funds I know what I’m looking for.

Handyman's Guide has always helped me out. Gives you the math breakdown for each position. Dunno if it's up to date after ~7 years, but should still give ya a good sense of what to look out for.
