Offerman had decent range at short but was as likely to hit the camera guy as the 1B on a tough throw (OK, small exaggeration there). So at first, with little emphasis on throwing, he turned into a respectable 1B. Guys who fit that model, or who have terrible ratings at turning the DP are the guys who should see the most benefit from switching positions. A guy like Bobby Bonilla was below-average at 3B, LF, RF, 1B and (hilariously) the 10 games he played in CF, because getting the little white thing to land in the pocket of the big leather thing was just not his strong suit. If your guy just gets lousy IF defense ratings, moving across the diamond shouldn't help much ...

i guess i don't know how to evaluate 1b, not coverted.
Right, garvey was .996 GG and his Error is 45 and overall 45 (1-100)
See screen shot above of 74 1b (mixed in our outliers like John Lowenstein who is played a few games at first)
I am pretty sure i would feel safer with garvery at first than lowenstein defensively, but the ratings don't indicate that.
So like in stratomatic 1974 garvey is 1b - 1 (best) Lowestein is a 1b 4 (worst)
opposite of ootpb.
