Everyone needs to decide if they want to go with the computer default for lineups or create their own.

You can set up batting orders Vs RHP and LHP. Can also decide what position each player will play and if you want to platoon anyone.

Pitching, you can set your rotation to any size. You can also decide if you want to follow a strict rotation or skip the last starter in the rotation if there is a day off to get to you #1 start sooner.

Pitcher

We are done drafting..... Jay , let me know if my post here is correct it picking settings and pitchers.


Mark

Bill Dineen does not have a durabilty rating for long relief. He would be defaulted as poor if you use him. Otherwise, everything looks good from you guys.

And yes, the sim does allow you to select pitchers for all the options Gil listed and goes even a step further on the set up and closers allowing for R/L match ups.

Jay

how about set-up man for Bill Dineen?

Thanks
Mark

I just looked at his stats, he is only rated as a starter. He has no rating as any type of reliever.

Jay

Does the Sim have the capability of complying with the following requests:




batting -

Main Batting order: (rest starters 10% of games except Gehrig, rotated so no more than 2 starters rest in any 1 game)

Main PR: Biggio
Main PH: Manny, then Gehringer




pitching -

one inning each: Franco, Smith, Eckersley-- each to have no more than 3 game appearances in a row

Doesn't get quite that detailed but I can assign primary PR and PH v R/L roles.

Jay

Please do what you can for me with these--I don't care about lefty-righty matchups.
Main Batting order: (rest starters 10% of games except Gehrig, rotated so no more than 2 starters rest in any 1 game)
Jeter
Collins
Musial
Gehrig
FRobby
Griffey
Mathews
Hartnett
Pitcher
Main sub: Molitor
Main PR: Biggio
Main PH: Manny, then Gehringer

5 man rotation---#5 getting spot starts only
Johnson
Grove
Brown
Perry
Palmer
Long relief: Roberts, Palmer (if no upcoming start in next 5 games)
Middle relief: Kaat, long if Palmer unavailable
one inning each: Franco, Smith, Eckersley-- each to have no more than 3 game appearances in a row

If Roberts and/or Palmer have not so good or worse reliever ratings (having rarely come in from the pen), then make Kaat long reliever and I guess use Roberts/Plamer for injured starters. Eck is closer and Franco set up--let Lee S get some mid-relief appearances.

LMK if you want to make any changes to the manager tandencies
