Not true. He just has to catch everything.
And be able to punt.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
yeah, catch everything. But if someone is trying to take the extra base on him, or tag up... they get the base they are going for.

I'm sure he's still able to hit the cutoff man and throw enough where he's tolerable out there. Can't have a worse arm than Johnny Damon or Juan Pierre. There's only going to be a few plays where I'd imagine it really is an issue. If he hits, I won't care much about his arm.

With our luck, there will be a play in every game where he will be needed to make a big throw. As far as the cutoff man, yeah, move him out further in the outfield to cut the ball off. But if you move him too far back, you will need another cutoff man.
