Playing Cabrera 5e11 at First?

Wow...and that doesn't even reflect all the hits he allowed with his 5 rating.

That may have been a joke, because he is a 5e62 at 3B. If it wasn't, then it must be because the poster played him at third.

This is based on the fielding probabilites chart I have.

At 1B (roughly):

5e11 = 4e17 = 3e22 = 2e27


Therefore, similar to slightly worse 1B options would be Chase Utley (3e22), Prince Fielder (4e18), Ryan Doumit (4e20), and Ryan Howard (4e20).

I would say these are not great choices at 1B, but if you can stand these guys at 1B, you can stand Miggy, provided his bat works out for you. Forgetting Utley, I would say Cabrera actually has a much better bat than these other guys.
