<div dir="ltr">As for the outfield question, I thought I'd do a little (and I repeat, A LITTLE) research and looked at some outfielders who played both left and right. I grabbed the number of games they played as well as the Defensive Runs Saved per 9 innings as well as their "Range Factor per 9" which is (9*(putouts + assists)/ Innings Played). I also grabbed some outfielders who play in "unique" stadiums, where the left and right fields may be significantly different. I also grabbed some outfielders known for their glove.<div><br></div><div><div><img src="cid:ii_k675p6iz0" alt="image.png" width="403" height="333"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>This is by NO MEANS scientific. Good fielders seem to have good range numbers regardless of LF or RF. But the runs saved can be dramatically different. Now, since I don't know the algorithm that goes into determining range or error ratings, it's quite possible that comparing "runs saved" or "range factor" have nothing to do with card ratings. But for comparison purposes it's interesting.</div><div><br></div><div>Personally, I don't like thinking that Trey Mancini should be allowed to play 87 games in left when he only played 6 there for the Orioles, so I'll be voting "no" on #2. But that's me and who cares how I'm voting.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 4:46 PM Sean Sweda <<a href="mailto:sweda@ibl.org">sweda@ibl.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I think a significant flaw has been pointed out in #2: a player with a small amount of playing time at only one corner outfield spot would receive 4x their overall games in the outfield (2x in LF, 2x in RF). At a minimum I believe the rule needs to be re-written in a way where that cannot happen. Therefore I will be voting NO.<br>
