I believe that was sarcasm.

I mean there's a reason why we don't see it. It's a clear disadvantage. Except for first basemen of course, where I see it as a true advantage. This may be a little OCD of me but I'd prefer to see the league progress in a very real manner...

This bothers me too. Unless they figure out how to avoid this as Franchise progresses it is going to get annoying. Everything else excites me. I can't wait for May!

I guess if you wanted to do some real old time rosters it could be helpful as back then you would see lefties in those other positions. Currently it does not seem to be a trend.

Yeah, I'm worried that this will become like the number of knuckleballers who get generated after a few seasons in RTTS. LH 3B, 2B, SS are virtually nonexistant in real life so I don't really see the point of this change.

I'm glad to see that baserunning has changed (though we'll have to see if it's for the better). But no mention of ball physics is disappointing. There's a pretty big issue with groundballs down the line in 13 that really should get fixed.

Unbelievable fact sheet but correct me if I'm wrong: there is still nothing said about stats being saved to go back to from the prior season...example...wanting to know how many stolen bases someone had the previous season...etc. the stats on the player cards have always been limited.

Somehow I highly doubt that left handed infielders will be randomly placed on the roster.

I think this is meant more for CAPs or other left handers that are specifically and purposefully placed at 2B-3B

I saw that base running was changed, I'd have to see that in action, because I honestly thought the classic BR option was the best. But also, after they changed the ball physics for 12, i thought it was great. I dont see why they have to address ball physics again.....
