Trying to advance catcher

Post by raverob »

Im trying to improve a player to catcher position. He is at 25% eligible in the minors . One one my catchers went down so I brought this guy up and put him in every position as a backup except catcher ( not eligible) I played my only catcher at first base in the hope they would play my minor leaguer as a catcher for that game , But they took a 39 yr old OF to play that game . Is there anyway I can get this player to catch,

Hi Bob,

What is the player's actual position? If he's not a 1B or 2B it's going to be tough to get him the lineup as a catcher. It would help if we could see your roster.

If there are no available catchers for a game, ABE starts with the first available in order: 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF, RF. If the position on his card is 1B, and he is the first (or only) 1B listed, he would get the start at catcher. He is never going to get there occasionally starting, however. Even starting him every day would take more than a season getting from where he is now to 100%.
