What's better?

I have King Kelly (RF 2(-4)e13, 1B 4e14) & Amos Strunk (RF 2(-1)e4, 1B 4e14) . I also have Tris Speaker in CF 1(-4)e8.

Is it better with fewer errors in RF or a better arm?

Thanks!

Great Question! I know a number of managers here place big emphasis on OF Arms, especially in RF. But there is a huge defensive drop between a 2e4 and a 2e13 in RF. I would play Strunk in RF, but I will be curious to see what others think.

All things equal I'd certain go for the e4 over the e13 despite the difference in arm strength, but here things aren't otherwise equal: Kelly's offense is far stronger than Strunk's and should more than make up for the difference in errors over the course of the season

They'll both be in lineup, 1 @ 1st , 1 @ RF. I'm guessing Kelly @ 1st 4e14 and Strunk @ RF 2(-1)e4

Strunk's defense will prevent about 6 more runs than Kelly's over a full season
