Anyone ever use 1949 Jackie Robinson at 2b in an 80 or 100 mill league? Just wondering if I should use a 3 at 2B and if his hitting and OBP will make up for the lack of Defense?

According to Diamond Dope, Robinson has a .487 winning percentage in 100m and a .522 winning percentage in $80m. I think I'd stay away from him in a $100m league

. . . unless . . .

any interest in a Jackie Robinson $100m theme league in which he would be the most expensive player? You could only use players with a price of $6.17m or less?

Personally I like Robinson in 80 mil. He can REALLY hit for a smallball team and his defense is very bearable.

One of the cooler cards in the deck 8-)

Due to lack of options I am platooning him with another player in a 200 mil league.
