Brunnoce, that's a great point that didn't even occur to me.

Thats what i do/did in my Rays franchise. its a nice way (in theory) to save guys legs and get someone else in the game. I use it every 10th game or so to get Longoria some rest and get Aybar in the game. I also will use it to get Zobrist in the game and put Burrell at RF sometimes.

But it doesnt work if the DH tires more than a position player.

How do you sweep that one under the rug? The only idea I have to "fix" this one is to change all DHs stamina to 100 or close to it. How does that work out?

I'm guessing it's because DHs have low stamina and this is probably related to the amount of games they play. If you actually look at the amount of games most DHs play, it's often lower than position players. I can't find any DH that played in 162 games. This might have to do with DHs getting injured or not being very good, but you don't see DHs that play 162 games. Edgar Martinez, the greatest DH of all time, played 155 games in his most games played season.

lol...probably the most to the point and important question posted.

Seriously, I'm not in the dumps like some are, but I do find the roller coaster of these issues to be pretty frustrating myself. I was just getting ready to add my own edits to one of Knight's fine rosters and go to town. Now, I'm on pause again, until we get some concrete info...lol. It's probably the longest I've waited to get deep into this game!

On a side note, I don't recall more than two patches released either, but I also don't recall things seeming this scrambled at this point.

Hopefully Russell can answer that question for us. It's generally easier to let something go when you know it's a done deal (as unfortunate as that news may end up being for many here).
