[quote:8e050c9c0a="durantjerry"]He would seem to be one of the worst possible choices unless there are unusual circumstances, like every other team is in US Cell.[/quote:8e050c9c0a]
I've been tempted to put him on a team, but haven't been able to bring myself to do it.
What's funny is that if he were a +2 arm, we wouldn't even be talking about this.
Weak arms come into play much more often in CF as you know. For those who don't know, there is a -2 adjustment that takes place on throws to 3rd from LF. So a 1-11 runner would be a 1-12 on a SINGLE (LF), going from 1st to 3rd.
However, a 1-11 would be a 1-16 on a SINGLE (LF) with two out, and a play at the plate (2 out adjustment = +2). Yet, a +2 LF arm would be a 1-15 in the same situation.
