Good info. I notice the writer is stating certain player are restricted to playing their assigned primary or secondary positions. Is there anything within the game that forces me to only insert players into the lineup within those assigned positions? If this hasn't been implemented, it's certainly a restriction that could be patched in that would add a lot in enforcing realism.

I thought I've seen some of my opponents putting players at catcher that have never played there.

There are no position restrictions in Diamond Dynasty, but there are attribute penalties that occur whenever you play someone out of position.

A player's fielding attributes will receive a 20% deduction whenever you use him at a listed secondary position, and a 40% deduction whenever you use him at an unlisted position.

Chris Johnson is a steal. Hitting almost .500 for me against Lefties. I platooned him with Pedro Alvarez with great results from both. 3B is secondary position for Pedro.

Anyone know how often through the season the player ratings will be adjusted? Someone like Trevor Bauer should get a major bump up. College Player of the Year in 2011. Finally fully healthy after groin and other nagging injuries the last couple years.
