I play in Dodger stadium. I had L.Ford in LF and M.Lawton in RF. Ford has better range and a better arm for RF. I am wondering if that's where I should put him. In my park where it favours righty batters would I need Ford's range and arm in LF or RF? Does anyone understand what I'm asking? Thanks.

Most hits in Strat go up the middle.

I think that it wouldn't matter where you put Lawton or Ford.

I tend to follow traditional baseball logic though by putting the better arm in RF.

Agree...check the rules for super advanced again, but if memory serves me well, on a throw to 3B the LF's arm is improved by two and the RF's decreased by two. Not entirely sure though. Thich would mean that a +2 in LF would throw to 3B like a 0, equally a 0 in RF would throw to 3B like a +2.

might as well put the strongest arm in RF...ofcourse keeping in mind what socal righfully said: Most hits go up the middle, strongest arm should be in CF
