Anyone have stats on impact probabilities of OF's with 4's (corner outfielders and centerfielders)??

I've had Juan Rivera drastically overperform offensively for me on a few teams, but kinda split between RF and DH-ing. I'm just not too sure how much I'm giving up on Def with a 4 in a corner OF vs 3 or less.

And if my memory of the board game is correct, the 4's actually hurt you more in the corners than CF...

Anyone....feedback..? :?

Corner OF positions are not as significant as CF, but they are very significant. [url=http://andrew-stevens.tripod.com/index/stratfield.html]This article[/url] tells you how much. Take the OPS listed there for the corner outfielder's fielding rating; multiply it by .167; and subtract that from the OPS off the hitter's card to get the player's total value.

This will give u a relative value - not sure what the numbers mean
