Who to start?

Opened a pack today which contained Chuck Klein. Before I opened the pack I had Ichiro starting in RF and Bryce Harper batting as DH.

The decision I'm leaning towards is taking ichiro off the roster, putting Klein as DH and having Harper play RF.

This would leave me with Ronald Acuna Jr in left field, Harrison Bader in centerfield, and Bryce Harper in right field. With Klein batting DH, and Kevin Pillar on the bench.

Other than Sadness at not having an outfield that all has Def over 90 anymore (Damn Harper and his 72) I think this is the correct decision.

My other bench players are Yasmani Grandal (Wilson Ramos too good), Ron Hunt, and Vern Stephens, do you think I should replace any of these for Ichiro?

Would Harper have a higher positional rating if you trained him up in LF?

I have Ichiro in center. Learning center of course, but it keeps Acuna in left and Furillo in right.

I've also got Cal Ripken Jr learning 3rd and Didi G. learning 2nd so Xander can DH and Andrelton Simmons can play SS.

Highest Def Eff in my league.

What does your park look like? Ichiro and Harper have very different hitting profiles so that could be a factor.

My park is the base park. Didn't know Def wasn't just how good they were at defense.... Only ever played offline so I have been blissfully ignorant on many things, and have no idea where to even start if I want to play in actual leagues considering my general noobiness at this game.
