Duffy and Hamilton

PostFri Feb 08, 2013 7:18 pm

What is the best combo in small ball park.

A.

LF - B Hamilton R2 E9 (+3)
CF - Duffy R2 E11 (-2)

B.

LF - Duffy R2 E11 (-2)
CF - B Hamilton R1 E9 (+3)

C. Neither, get a CFer with a real arm and R1.

Thanks for your help!!

Once upon a time a stat whiz here showed that range in center field is significantly more important than arm, even though the minus arm looks better.

If you can put a -5 arm in right, that should help to balance things a bit.

Hey if you have Cobb in RF let them do rock paper scissors and put the loser in LF. Then run the league ragged. :lol:

Occasionally will take Hamilton, Duffy is ok on the right team but I would never play Duffy in CF and never had except if my normal CF was injured. With Cobb you have the makings of a great hitting small ball team, I'd go Duffy in LF and take any other option for CF with defensive prowess. I find Hamilton to be a marginal positive impact on small ball teams.

OK, good input.

22 LH SPs in the league right now. :shock: I am in Forbes 65

I was thinking:

Collins
BHamilton
Cobb
Duffy
Carew
BAker
Cochrane
Templeton

So Reiser, Pinson, Lofton or Pete Hill would be available for CF. I picked up Lofton and I have Speaker, but do not think I can afford him and Duffy both.
