Is this the stone ages Where we can't disallow that? Lol or we just disallow converting relievers to pitchers, give the guys that should have starter duration duration, and avoid SP inflation, yay I want to avoid catcher inflation then |

smfh at any GM wanting that rule undone Well you're raNdomly turning middle infielders into catchers. If you allow that, then anything should be fair game. We can't have convenient exceptions Alcantara already knows 2B, 3B, LF, SS. Not just an MI |

Nah that's not the case at all, only a duration relievers could be converted was a good rule. Just make a stud reliever with B and no chance to convert via Tia it's simple enough then you just drop his velocity to 0 in ST and up his stamina and then do it the next year... unless his ratings are good but his velocity is low |

I taught a utility player to play Catcher, the horror You can say the same for relievers lol. No one learns catcher after being drafted it's the hardest position to learn. It's ok you found a loophole it's not gonna be reversed lol. I just would like to see it addressed |

Lol I can't discuss anything without it being considered bitching? Lol so every time you want something changed well just discard it as bitching, noted. You just made a regarded commection between one statement and another, congrats |

Increasingly, teams have found success converting players to catcher from other positions in the minor leagues -- the ideal candidate being someone with a good arm, a capacity for leadership and a selfless approach that makes them willing to put a pitcher's success ahead of his own offensive numbers. The ranks of successful conversions include not only the Dodgers' Martin, but also the Yankees' Jorge Posada (a former second baseman), the Cubs' Geovany Soto (third base), the Padres' Michael Barrett (third base) and the Nationals' Paul Lo Duca (first base/third base). Even Posey, whom the Giants took with the fifth overall pick this year, was a shortstop as a freshman at Florida State before being converted. www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/28/AR2008062801811.htmlRIP styro's argument |
