Where do you put Sheffield?
-
3B. One of my best and most consistent hitters.
-
Start him at 3B then use a defensive replacement after last at bat in later innings..
Also shift infield slightly left to move him closer to the line and minimize errors.. as well as giving your SS more range to make the tough plays
-
When I use that card he's either at 3rd or a bench bat.
-
The bench
-
Bench vs LP

With Mantle, Walker and Trout, 3B is only option
This. His bat was too good to take out of my lineup, but I needed to have Mantle, Trout and Walker out there.

I never thought about shifting him a bit in the field to cover the line. Ripken plays short for me and has good enough range and arm to cover the hole. Good thinking
-
He hasn't been a problem playing 3rd for me. Makes the plays at a much higher clip than his stats suggest. He might knock the ball down a bit but with that arm strength he throws lasers across the diamond to compensate for fumbling the ball. Arm strength does not get a secondary position stat penalty.
-
He's not even on my bench anymore
-
Now that I have trout w mantle and babe , 3b is only option

I have him on the bench and he is one of my better pinch hitters. I have 99 Eddie Mathews at 3B and his bat won't come out of the lineup. I just got Ruth last night so he goes to 1B and Belli goes to LF. I have Mantle in Center and Walker in Right. Kinda tough making out a lineup with all the great hitters to choose from. We are still waiting on Mays to so where does he go? LOL
Maybe they'll let us play with 4 outfielders.

In my collection.
-
on your bench or in LF, do not put him at 3rd, you need diamond defending at 3rd
-
I use him at 3rd and he's been there a while. I was concerned about his defense there when I first got him but he has been more than serviceable. He has the occasional error but not nearly as many or as often as I was worried about. I would say he's been average to good playing 3rd for me to be honest.

And hopefully a better Griffey too

Hanging on the end of the bench about to fall off.

3rd base. Makes all the plays.
-
OF is way too packed this year. Trout and Mantle and then one spot to put one of the other studs. Hard to pick just one. So Sheff has to play 3rd. He is near endgame at 3rd base. Unless they come out with a 3rd base with diamond fielding and the same hitting stats as Shef. I look at it as one position I dont have to spend stubs on. If your worried about defense just replace him in the late innings. I like to punch run Jackie and then he stays in to play 3rd.
