This suggestion could be used that way. Something along these lines would be great. A none lefty/right platoon? How does this suggestion resolve that? Thanks, Steve

I've been tearing my hair out with some of the VERY, very strange non-injury substitutions it seems to like making, and having zero control over who comes in where to pinch hit. This might add a way to stop a bit of the insanity (and 8th/9th inning defensive collapses).

Right now we can set who we want to play against starting LHP or RHP and who the 1st back up position is in case of injury. BUT I feel like we have little control over In-Game substitutions. So we end up with players like F7/R11/A11 who is my lefty hitting first baseman rookie subbing mid game at SS and OF. I have 7 players (and half my bench) that have some kind of ss training and would have been a better option. In my suggestion I would have him only eligible to play 1B or DH or PH but replace for defense immediately. So it helps with in game strategy and offense/defense platooning. I know this is a big request and would take some amount of coding and time, but i think it would improve management of our teams. Thank you.

I've said it somewhere before, but I stopped doing substitutions (even in preseason) other than pinch runners when I got situations like the one posted above, a stone-handed DH-type being brought in at SS and kicking two ground balls which cost me a game.
