How do you handle 2-way players?

I mean, it's your book and all, but he played 83 innings as a pitcher and 89 innings as an outfielder. That's *literally* a two-way player.

I understand that. The Reds, however, would have been better off giving those innings to someone else though. He wasn't productive in that role, and shouldn't have been in that role at all.

And he wouldn't even qualify as a "two-way player" under MLB's own rules. https://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2020/2/...two-way-player
