I'm looking for a .50 CF that can play LF or RF and was wondering if they suffered when moved to RF or LF since they only show being able to play CF on their card. I would think they wouldn't bc CF is harder to play than the corners but you never know.

In the CDROM version, there's usually no penalty to moving CFs to the corner, but the TSN/SOM game won't allow you to put a player in the line-up into a position for which he is not rated.

I miss the days of allowing a CF to play a corner spot and not lose their defense. RF to CF was one range higher (rf-1 to a cf-2). I thought LF to CF was two ranges higher (lf-2 to a cf-4). LF to RF was one range higher as well.

This is allowed in the board game. The only way HAL would use that CF here is if you were totally out of players at that position.

Yeah, bleacher creature. I was talking about the days when we played the board game in college. One of the favorite moves in the late 80's was to move Jesse Barfield to play a cf-2(-4) from his rf-1(-4) position.
