I know...beating a dead horse...
Vent away! Preach it! I don't think you're off base. On our 14 team...EVERYONE is a OF. Some will play more innings than others and some will play very few innings but they ALL practice outfield skills, drills, situations during practices. What's been fun to watch this last year is how much its helping their overall under standing of the game, positioning and strategy. They take that back with them to their other positions and the team plays with much better synergy and execution. They will take that with them to their HS team and any future TB teams making them more versatile and hopefully valuable for their team.
KPower...by the way 2 of our 3 catchers are fantastic OF's too. And Lefty Catchers....look up Michelle Venturella for inspiration.
