Should second base play closer to the bag? Yes. When I'm out at 2nd, I make them show me they can hit it to the hole on my left. Then I'll play straight up only against the batters that have shown me they can hit it there. It will give up some extra base hits, but may take away from some of the flares. Creating a rover may take away some base hits but could result in more HRs. Should we assign positions to guys and that's it? I personally like being a utility play anywhere guy. It helps keep my head in the game. I'm sorry about my defense, I'm taking my offensive woes with me to the field. I hope to break out of it soon. I don't like the idea of people sitting the whole game, except occasionally when they feel like doing so. Everyone should get the chance to play half a game if they want to. I can understand if we want to stack the D against a certain team to battle for first, but not every week.
