Ultimate Rosters Official 2nd Position thread.

Recommended Posts

Personally I hate seeing Tony Batista getting signed and playing SS somewhere, I hate seeing Pujols playing 3B and Rolen benched, I hate seeing Ichiro/Vlad playing somewhere other than RF.

Thanks to McCarroll21 for making this list.

Ok I'm bored so I'm going to do something... Every player that should have a second position will be listed with their positions. This is coming from the Depth Charts on MLB.com. If there is something wrong on this list just say it, don't get upset. I took them straight off the Depth Charts listed on MLB.com unless I knew something was different. Everyone not listed on this list should only have one position, I made a note on some guys who were once thought to be utility players that have now settled into one position on here. I think this does a pretty good job of cutting down on the utility players who only play the infield or something like that. Like I said, if there's something wrong, just post the correction and if it seems sufficient I'll edit this post to reflect that. I'm sure you know your teams better than I do, I'm just going by the depth charts. One guy I'm looking forward to hear from is Millennium about David Newhan. The depth charts only had CF listed and I haven't seen them enough this year to know differently right off the top of my head. Anyway, I see this as a good starting point...

Look up your team and give us feedback....

Don't say," Well pujols can play 3b or OF." Pujols will never play another position. And it is not like you can't play him at third in the game anyways.

Give us some good info if you want it changed, like spring training info or last year.

Don't say," Well [insert name] can play any pos " because all I'll tell you is," No ****, I can also play any pos, doesn't mean I am good at it."

It's very simple, make smart posts, no fighting or Homers allowed.

Edited to correct:

Very Very impressive and comprehensive list, I have a few corrections that could be made to the list from what youve already gathered.

I would possibly change ginter to make 3b his second position because hes not real likely to get any time at short, hell oakland isnt even real comfortable with mark ellis at short and he is pretty good defensively.

Frank catalonotto could be a great great utility player if toronto would use him like he is meant to be used like texas used him. He could have a second position of utility if llc and hypp think he should.

Eduarado perez I think should have 1b as his second position as that is where he is best defensively and gets some time there.

Nick green and jorge cantu are almost the same defensive player but if either of them should have if as there second position it should be cantu as he is more likely to play short.

Alex gonzalez should have second as short I dont know why any team would play him at third he doesnt hit enough.

Casey blake is kind of debatable he could play third, hell he should be starting at third over boone and put jody gerut in right but boones contract says otherwise.

Peralta if he isnt playing short he will on the bench or at third, he actually projects as a thirdbasemen because of his body type. Many in the front office actually beleive he will follow the same path as thome, short to third to first. Scary isnt it jim thome playing short.

Newhan millenium will back me up on this he is the ideal utility player all except for his arm. He can hit and is fast and hustles can play anywhere except short.

Marrero secon position should be 1b he has actaully been starting at first a few games a week.

Mcewing second should be utility yes hes terrible at every position but hes a util.

The tigers are tough infante and inge are guys who were utility last year but now are full time at one position so im not sure what you do with them.

Punto as previously stated is a utility guy who has played everywhere and has been getting loads of time a second.

Willie harris see punto except for the starting gig.

Mike lamb he was playing lf early this year and terribly i might add but he looks good with 3b and 1b.

Jason Repko can play all three of spots and is good defensively at all three.

Kent I would say should have 1b as his second, before perez and valentin went down and saenz got hot there was the liklihood that kent would slide over to first with perez playing second against lefties.

Feliz the guy can and has played every except 2b and cf.so whatever his main position is he should be a util.

Damion easley needs to atleast have a second position of IF and possibly util. Heres his games played from 2004-05, 18 at first, 40 at second, 19 at short, 7 at third, and 5 in right feild.

Chase utley should only be 2b and 1b.

Mackowiak should be 3b and util or if you wanted to keep him being util make him cf/IF.

Wiggington should be 1b as his second position hes been playing there against lefties since wilson went down.

Felipe lopez should be ss/ IF he has been starting at second over jimenez lately and is also an option at third.

But as I said before a very good list youve made.

Blue Jays......Eric Hinske......1B Only

3B is actually his main position.. he's played 3B for his first 3 years in the league and for most of the minors before moving to 1B

cubsfaninfla, you obviously don't have a grasp on what's trying to be accomplished here so I don't see why you keep throwing in your 2 cents and bad mouthing everything.

Make YOUR changes to YOUR copy of the rosters and shut the hell up.

Oh boy, that scared me off. :roll: I'm just trying to help put the best rosters by adding my two cents in. These lists are severely messed up. SEVERELY!

And BTW: I don't see you adding input to help make the rosters better.

Your input's not adding anything to help the rosters either...that's the whole point. :roll:

Really, wow, I could of sworn changing 2nd positions around and making them right was helping. I guess not, oh mighty one! :roll:

I'm sorry, but That list really sucks. That's the same list you posted in the other topic.

Actually, its not quite the same list, I made some changes if you bothered to look. (Like Utley, etc)

And these are all according to mlb.com

Plus, if you disagree w/ mine atleast tell me what's wrong (I've already read your post and corrected the ones I thought needed to be.

Almost all of it is wrong.

My comments in bold.

In conclusion, this is another horrible list.

Jason Phillips -- C/1B

Placido Polanco -- 2B/IF

Matt Lawton -- RF/LF (Most of his games in '04 were in LF)

Chase Utley -- 2B/IF or just 1B (he played some at 1B (and 3B in minors))

Xavier Nady -- LF/OF (I don't think you can put their main position as OF, IF or UTIL)

Chad Tracey -- 1B/3B

Jerry Hairston -- 2B/OF (most of his OF experience has been RF w/ O's)

Jay Gibbons -- 1B/RF (he doesn't play CF or LF)

Erik Hinske -- I agree w/ "boldman" this is an exception, he has played 3B as recently as last year

Jose Macias -- 2B/UTIL (he plays all over the place)

Jay McEwing -- 2B/UTIL (same w/ him)

Alex Gonzalez -- 3B/SS (same as Hinske)

Eduardo Perez -- 1B/RF or LF (not OF, 'cause he'll get time at CF that way, which he shouldn't)

JOse Cruz -- CF/RF (only moved to CF to accomadate Shawn GReen's arrival)

Lance Berkman -- LF/OF (I agree he plays RF, but he also has time in CF)

Not a bad list, just suggesting some alternatives

I updated based on the first post and noticed that some teams don't have enough position flexibility with their backup players using a pure MLB.com approach. I'm not sure what the AI might do if no one backs up a position, but if the highest rated hitter ends up as 'first choice' backup, the solution might be as bad as the problem. So, I made sure the backup CF covered the whole OF, and the backup SS had IF coverage for each team. Seems like a quick fix that shouldn't be too far from 'real world', and beats everyone as a 'UTIL'.

Personally I hate seeing Tony Batista getting signed and playing SS somewhere, I hate seeing Pujols playing 3B and Rolen benched, I hate seeing Ichiro/Vlad playing somewhere other than RF.

Thanks to McCarroll21 for making this list.

Look up your team and give us feedback....

Don't say," Well pujols can play 3b or OF." Pujols will never play another position. And it is not like you can't play him at third in the game anyways.

Give us some good info if you want it changed, like spring training info or last year.

Don't say," Well [insert name] can play any pos " because all I'll tell you is," No [naughty word], I can also play any pos, doesn't mean I am good at it."

It's very simple, make smart posts, no fighting or Homers allowed.

Indians are all good, but Casey Blake has played LF, RF, 1B, 3B, he has worked out almost everywhere but Pitcher and Catcher! :lol: I think he would be a util. Other then that the Indians ar dead on

Can you give me an example of a couple of teams?

Updated List: Changes are in bold

CubsFan, since you seem so much more happy with the way things are right now, the changes you've said have been reflected where I think they need to be. Remember we're not doing these rosters based on what they did in 2004, or in Klesko's case 1999. These reflect the depth charts every team has out on MLB.com for 2005. You don't see people wanting to move Smoltz back to closer, even as bad as Kolb has been. These rosters are for 2005 and what happens beyond that, not what has happened in the past. I understand that there are some changes to be made from the depth charts but for the most part these are correct. I had an explanation written up over every change you asked for, but it was erased in switing from Word to here. Sorry about that, but its not like I don't want to make changes to my precious little list because I have, but only the ones that are valid. These changes also reflect any other changes that have been made in this thread.
