Power hitters = RF,LF, 1B,3B the corners that's where your RBI, HR, sluggers play.
Your middle infielders and catcher are defense, 2B,SS,CF,C if you get production from them at the plate it's just a bonus.
In a perfect world you get a couple of the defensive spots say a good power hitting catcher and say a good batting average 2B. if you're lucky.
But this is the way Basball teams have been set up for ages. Power od the edges - hitting, defense is secondary. Defense up the middle.
Oh ok, I get what you're saying now. Senzel isn't known for being a power hitter, either. But I think with the modern age of baseball, some of this has adjusted. It's almost all about how often can you get on base, and/or your "eye". Votto has become an all-star using this approach.
