Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

we don't need more 3b's. the free agent list is littered with RHB 3b's balance L that NEVER get used. need more inexpensive excellent fielding Mid Infers but people never vote for them?

Darwin Barney is a great/perfect example. he's making some headway vote wise but doubt he'll get there?

It's mostly a matter of opinion and personal preference. For me, the Barney card doesn't move the needle at all. I prefer Soriano and Whitaker, which are cards I know I will use, barring something unexpected with their pricing.

I do see a need for more lefty-hitting catchers and third baseman that can really hit righties well. And there are still plenty of weaknesses in exp-era franchises that can be filled.

I play in a lot of leagues, but would never claim to know for sure that certain cards aren't being used. I see many cards being used in leagues that I have never even considered.

If there’s a shortage of LH hitters, it’s at SS.

I certainly don't disagree with that Andy. Not sure there are that many good ones out there though. I'll have to take a look.

Vaughan , Crawford , Seager , Pop Lloyd , Pesky , Hollocher , Gregorious, Gullien , Drew , Wilson, Tavaner are the best ones we have available to use as of now. These are all 1’s and 2’s defensively at least. These a bunch more that have eligibility but these would be the ones that get the most use. 2021 Jake Croninworth would have ss eligibility could be a decent add next time

Thanks Matt, but I was referring to looking for potential candidates for addition to the set. Note: Cronenworth was voted in with 23.4. I'll be using his card as a 2b-1 though, not a SS-2.

there's 3 pages of Switch-Hitting Short Stops. most never will be used due to Fielding. historically. with the AB/PA nom requirement, don't know if there are that many LHB SS's left in MLB database?

Oh nice I either forgot he got voted in or didn’t remember. I think outside what we have it’ll be mostly guys with shortstop as a secondary position. And I get why you’d use him at 2b (croninworth) but when constructing a lefty team the ss2 might work with pricing / team fit.

Here are three lh ss for those not adverse to using unknown names...no guarantee as to defense...
