Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Tonight the season begins. But I have reservations about keeping Turner as my 3B. Altuve is available at 2B. I currently have Panik at 2B, but he didn't do well in my last season. I was thinking of picking up Arenado for 3B who's has much better "D" than Turner, and has more power. Then replacing Panik with Altuve. I lose better "D" at 2B, but would love to have Altuve leading off and giving me some speed on the base paths. I'm not Panik-ing (sorry, couldn't help it), but in my last league Turner hit over.340, and I just love a high AVE lineup. If anyone has any thoughts, ideas, or comments, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks. --- Graphixcat

Keep Turner

Firstly, I would always prefer to have a 4 at 3b over a 3 at 2b. Secondly, as to choosing between Turner and Altuve, I would take Turner in a sec. He's a beautiful OBP card with extra-base power, N-pop, and a little bit of speed. He is one of my MVP's on my current teams, so I would keep him if I were you:

Don't know what your specifics are (payroll size, DH/no-Dh, BP. etc.), but I have both on this team with Turner DH and Altuve at 2b. Turner, when healthy, is killing it. Altuve's fielding hasn't been terrible and is pretty good at leadoff with negatives of low RBI and high hitting into dp.

My biggest problem was forgetting to set my bullpen pitching preferences. I probably realized mistake too late.

I don't care (much) if my 3B can field well. Although I like Altuve, I strongly prefer Turner.

Thanks everyone for your helpful opinions. I will definitely stay with Turner.
