Two-Way players
So I have 2 two way players. One plays RF/RP and the other is a LF/SP, however i'm wanting to change my LFer to a SS so he can man that postion til my prospect can come up and fill that role full time. But the ratings are showing up. I've tried everything and the only position i'm able to play him in the IF is 1B and my reigning MVP is there so i don't see playing time for him there. So i'm wondering why can't i change my two way player two SS? It's worth noting that the RP is michael Lorenzen.

I'm an idiot, it turns out the reason why is because he throws left handed. Well i'm screwed now....

I would do that, but he's actually a really good SP.

That's a pretty tall order, even disregarding the fact that the player is left-handed. Moving a player from a less-skilled defensive position to a more-skilled one is always going to be a big challenge, and shortstop is probably the second-most skilled defensive position on the diamond, behind only catcher. Besides, a left-handed pitcher is, all other things being equal, much more valuable than a left-handed outfielder. If I were the GM, I'd just convert him to being a full-time pitcher.

Yeah i am thinking about just doing that. His hitting ratings aren't that good anyway. He's currently playing LF every 3rd or 4th game

In OOTP as it stands it doesn't seem to hurt one's pitching to play another position when not pitching, so I don't see a reason not to have a guy who's good at both OF and P play the OF when he's not pitching and not too tired from having pitched. |
