position effect question

ELDoro · 12-25-2005, 01:06 AM

Was wondering some things:

#1: say if i have a DH thats rated 5 stars and i switch him to a LF (has an 8 defensive rating there) and then he drops to 3 stars.... does this have any effect on his performance at the plate or in the field?

thanks

No it doesn't. Stars are just a quick reference as to a player's worth; they change because they show a player's value based on others at his position. Most experienced players pay little attention to them.
