Outfield Positions....

So I'm playing another demo game with my Tigers vs. Dodgers and while making out the lineup I happened to put Coco Crisp in RF (he's only listed as being able to play LF and CF) and the game doesn't alert me to anything wrong. I start the game to see what defensive rating Crisp will have paying out of position in RF. I expect him to have the F/5 range for being out of position but instead he has his defensive rating from LF. So I look up the rules to see if this is a computer game glitch or a rule we've overlooked. On page 5 of the Official Dynasty Rulebook there it is:

LF can play RF and vice versa. A player listed in CF
can play all of the OF positions.

So centerfielders can play all three outfield positions at their CF rating unless they have a specific rating for that field and corner outfielders can play the opposite field using their same defensive rating unless a different rating is specified.

So that solves my problem of how to play both Grady Sizemore and Vernon Wells at the same time on next year's team.
