ANGELS:

* They have RHP Shohei Ohtani only as a SP. We have no way to use him as a hitter in custom leagues. Last year they added a MONTHLY AWARD card for him and it was a hitter card so we were able to swap cards out when needed.

* As of right now I am going to add an extra batter to put in the DH spot until I figure out a way to use Ohtani as a hitter.

They made LHP Jose Suarez a RP which he should be a SP and in their rotation, so I had to put RHP Oliver Ortega in his spot in the rotation and use him out of the bullpen like we had to last year as a WORK AROUND. I had to put LHP Jose Suarez in the last spot in the bullpen as the LRP as this will be a WORK AROUND situation like last year.

I had to keep LHP Patrick Sandoval off roster because we can only have 13 pitchers and he is a SP on the game as of 05/01/22 He is part of their rotation and they are running a 6 man rotation in real life.

METS:

* 2B Robinson Cano (L) is not in the game and is not coming up in DD as of 05/01/22. This really sets things back because he's a veteran player and needs to be in the game if he's a starting player.

I had to move INF Luis Guillorme (L) to 2B from where he should be on the bench on my list and OF Travis Jankowski (L) was given his spot on the bench.
