How much will an 8 arm at 2ND base hurt me? Significantly? Since i'm at it, will a 12 arm at 3RD be problematic too? Thanks.

You don't need a strong are at 2B. Shouldn't hurt at all. A strong arm is nice to have at 3B, but I've played weaker arms than that and done fine. Its ok to have some gaps in your D, especially if you make up for them elsewhere. Like having a stud SS.

Most of the throws from 2B are to 1B, so arm is less important.

I do wonder about modern baseball where they have such extreme shifts -- sometimes the 2B is playing left of the second base bag...

And the other day I saw the Dodgers playing Justin Turner (3B) deep and between the 1B and 2B and Corey Seager (SS) was the only infielder to the left of the bag.
