It's important for a baseball coach to field/deploy the players in a game.

Do both field and deploy fit in the above sentence and convey about the same idea? If neither, what is the right verb that works there? Thanks.

'Deploy' suggests strategy and thought, while 'field' just suggests putting them on the pitch to me.

Thanks, Tdol.
Could you come up with a better verb to fit in the base sentence?

Deploy sounds fine.
