Hidden Gems, Playing secondary position.

[NKRDIBL]

Who are some of your hidden gems that you play in a secondary position and they potentially become more valuable?

I know many people have used Machado at SS, and for good reason, he has great range and one of the best arms in the game.

A few other guys I have played out of Position or in a secondary to maximize potential.

Trevor Story 2nd Base 5* IE days
Carpenter 2nd Base against righties
Carlos Santana at Catcher
Jose Bautista at 1B
Odubel Herrera at 2nd.

I just started doing this, and am looking to find more players who can be maximized at different positions. Or are in real life playing out of position and are more suitable at their secondary position.

and Just to clarify, When you change Machado offline from 3bag to SS, his overall goes from a 96 to a 97, Someone like Carpenter goes from an 86 3rd base to an 88 2nd base, and with the 5% decrease in fielding their isn't much penalty.

Mookie at second, his arm is dreadful in the outfield.

Lol you hit the nail on the head! I'm doing a sox inning grind so he is in RF right now but he is always my 2B and his speed makes for great range.

C seager at 3b and Chris Davis at 3b both have pretty good fielding and good enough arms!

Piscotty at 1B when he is on a hot streak.

I mostly play at Fenway so he's fine there and he's hitting .250 with 36 bombs in 120 abs so far

If Cespedes is moved to LF he is a 95 and FB Crawford is also a diamond when moved to CF
