Secondary Positions

June 16, 2010 at 11:30PM View BBCode

I've put a change in that requires a player to actually appear in the field to effect secondary positions. For instance, before if your player was 100% at 2B and 40% at SS, and he PH for the 2B in the 9th inning but never took the field, he would drop to 39.9% at SS after the game.

Let me know if you see anything out of the ordinary.

I haven't checked to see if my backup catcher is dropping when he pinch-hits. Here's the problem I'm having.

I converted a SS to C in the minor leagues, solely for the purpose of being the back-up catcher. He is not listed at SS on any of my depth charts, but ABE still puts him in at SS occasionally...usually to "get younger player at bats." I don't care if this guy never gets any at bats. I just don't want him dropping below 50% at catcher, and every time that happens (get a younger play at bats), he drops at catcher.

When he gets used at SS, he drops more than he can recover, when he's only catching a couple of games a month. The result is that he eventually drops below 50% at catcher. I had to send him back to the minors once because he dropped and was no longer eligible to be used at that position. Is there a way to stop ABE from putting a guy in the field just because he's rated there, or to turn off the "younger player at bats" function for certain players? (I realize that most of the time you want this feature, for the development of younger bench players. But, in this fairly rare case, I don't.)
