Baseball Mogul 2007 Feature Poll

It doesnt ever seem like the auto-sort sorts players that are listed as 2B/SS into their secondary position, only the position listed on the scouting report.

yeah I always have the same problem. I see I have a fairly good replacement who has the IF tag with a 78++ rating, but I auto sort and when I look it replaced the injured guy with a 2B with a 68+ rating.

[cartman00000001]

I think it would be better. I disklike how when I put a player at another position his ratings always go down, but when they are put back into their best position their defensive skills always go down and become useless fielders. When this happens I either make them a DH or trade them away.

they should have some kind of a Robin Yount clause in there. Even if they change positions, there should be some guys who are really good athletes, be able to excel at another position.

I think this would be a good addition to the game, but my thing is the Utility Players becoming super ineffective at fielding when thats why they are being used in the first place (to fill up a spot) where there is an injury or some other kind of problems.

kinda like a Lou Merloni? Pretty good at 3 or 4 positions...hit a little...get you 150 AB.

yes exactly

imo the game is setup to avoid Utility guys and use pure position players over utility players. this bites because in most cases i have to manually put the if/of players into the position i need them at instead of them automatically being used.

so, how about something like a depth chart? Like in football.

Yeah that would be nice, but i mean you would have to give it a baseball touch though.

Depth Charts are easily implementeed in baseball. On ESPN.com, every team page has a depth chart (though i dont think it's been updated since opening day lol), and depth charts were even implemented in World Series baseball 2003 for XBOX and whatever other consoles its on.

although it might take too much time to implement. I mean doing the depth charts for all the players.

na, a depth chart for positions. Like Manny Ramirez takes a day off (which is often) who plays for him? I think Clay could throw this in in no time.

[HoustonGM]

Yea, that's the depth chart I was talking about.

Knowing how a player has performed over his last 10 games for position players and last 5-10 appearances for pitchers would be great.

i'd like to see invidiual player strategies, instead of setting strategies for the whole team. for example, i have a speedy player. bbm now will make him steal more often than a non-speedy player, but if i want him to steal A LOT more, i'd have to move the steal strategy slider up, but this also risks me attempting steals with non-fast players and getting them caught. i'd like to individually set strategies. say, i want the fast player to steal a lot more, and then i'd set my slow players to steal VERY little. OOTP has something like this. It'd be a good addition toBBM
