2035 Offseason Trade Review

[RonCo]

Playing a catcher with a 5 or 6 rating at C should be viewed the same as playing a CF or SS (or 2B) with a rating of 5 or 6. You probably don't want to do it, but if he's a great hitter and you have a good DH/1B (and no real viable replacement), then you can fudge it.

On the whole I agree, though I'd probably change the CF/SS rating floor up a little.

I'd also note the opposite position: that playing a 10 C who cannot hit at all is not any more valuable than playing a SS/CF who can't hit.

For one of the old media guides (somewhere between 2027-2029), I created a handful of identical leagues with injuries and development turned off....

I can't find that. I wonder if it was 2026. That was a year I didn't do it due to other commitments.

I'm thinking it was 2027 or 2028. I know it was after I played some horrific defensive catchers in 2026, because I was still operating as if OOTP were the same as the last version I'd played, more than 6 versions prior.
