which is more important...

I think that Bresnahan card is best used at 1B.

Using Bresnahan at first reduces injury risk behind plate since he becomes injury proof if your starting catcher gets injured. Just have a reasonable backup defensive replacement and you cover 2 positions with a single backup player helping to maximize your bench.

great points. dropped foul balls was very intrigueing. this would seem to be true in MLB but is it true in strat and where does it show up? u have to watch the replay?

In the CDROM game, you tell from the dice rolls.

I'd guess the replay might reveal it. I haven't used the function so you're on your own there.
