Wracked w/ Injuries, How do I Get Weeks @3B

PostMon Feb 10, 2014 12:10 pm

In the semi-finals round of the Tournament, my team has hung tough in the face of a series of could-have-been decimating injuries, including 15 games each for Medlen & Josh Willingham, 8 for Bartolo Colon, and now 8 for Chipper and 10 for his replacement Ronnie Cedeno. (we've had other injuries too, particularly repeats for Carloses Santana & Quentin, but none for long periods).

With Chipper & Cedeno down, I have no healthy 3B, and out of all the guys on the bench, I'd like to see Rickie Week slotted in at third. I have him currently set at DH vs. normal LH pitching and Carlos Santana @1B. HAL put Santana at 3B, Casey Kotchman @1B, left Weeks at DH. If I want Weeks @3B, am I best off just leaving him off the lineup card completely? Slotting Santana @DH? It often seems to me that the DH is a locked-in position for HAL.

Thoughts? I've got 3 more games w/ both Chipper & Cedeno out, and I'm just now noticing that Cedeno is the only guy I've got backing up 3B and SS. That could prove too thin.

I would fill out lineup with Chipper listed in the 3B slot, Weeks on bench and put Weeks in the defensive replacement #1 slot for 3B under team strategy page...that should do the trick (I think!?)

Interesting! I never thought of that, didn't think you could do it. I'm trying it! Thank you!

It worked! Thank you for asking! Weeks played third like clockwork, even made an errorless play (after a disastrous Si+2-base error) on a gbX. We took 2outta3, and Weeks even hit a clutch 9th inning 3-run HR in the game we lost.

Thank you for your help!
