Dominic Smith

[Buffalove]

What should his defensive ratings become if I edit him to 1B as primary?

He has played 0 games at LF this season and the SDS roster updates still have him as primary LF, secondary 1B. Preparing him for trade deadline in my franchise.

We have him as a first baseman in our roster. He's a fringy fielder at first. We suggest:
Speed 41
Fielding 62
Reaction 67
Arm Strength 57
Arm Accuracy 52

I'd say that's pretty close. He is better than Alonso however who is a 66 fielding I believe. Smith is +2 runs at first this year. I went 69 personally, 68 reaction.

Dom's only played 200 innings this year (1 run saved). He's a -2 player over his career (1000 or so innings) which is closer to a full season's worth of playing time at first.

Alonso is a better defender over his entire career than Smith (no runs saved, so precisely average), even though he has -1 this year. He even had 5 runs saved last year.
