I hate having a catcher with a weak arm. He can turn many opponent singles into doubles. Shortstops get more chances than other infielders, and can make the difference in how many double plays you enjoy.
Others here know more about baseball than I do and might have other opinions.
As you play you will discover which ways of losing are most annoying to you: blown leads in the 9th inning? Always playing catch-up because your starters are weak? Watching your infielders turn double play balls into errors? Always lacking decent pinch hitters at crunch time?
Be alert to your emotional reactions and you'll probably quickly develop your own priorities. You'll also discover whether you prefer pitchers' duels or [base]balls-to-the wall slugfests.

I agree 100% Give me Yadier Molina/Pudge as a C, Ozzie Smith or even Ozzie Guillen at SS and Griffey or Lofton in CF or even Mays. I also like a RF with a good arm even if he isnt the best fielder. Dawson/Vlad type.
