A great offensive player with mediocre defensive skills or B. A great defensive player with very good fielding, arm and range but mediocre offensive skills? Thanks. | ||

For 3B, I'm more OK with focusing on offense as long as he's not a big defensive liability. For 2B, it's tougher for me. Defense is very important to me for a 2B, but I wouldn't want to give up too much on the other side of the ball either. |

Its really up to your philosophy (part of the fun of the game). It can also be worthwhile to check out some of the teams in the top leagues to see which choices they made. | ||

But there are so many stud middle infielders these days hitting 20+ HRs (but striking out 100+), that I think that logic has changed. A lot of teams seem like they only have a defensive player a catcher these days. Steve |
