I also noticed that prominent starting pitchers are identified as relief pitchers (e.g., Don Larson is listed as MR rather than SP -- I also saw Lew Burdette listed on the Reserve Roster instead of the Active Roster. What's up with that?). Is this simply an AI problem? Is there anything I can do to make sure this doesn't happen? Or do I have to make changes to every team's roster to get things right? Thanks.

This is just my guess:
Larsen would have been the 5th or 6th starter (in a 4 man rotation era):
Tom Sturdivant 28/22 games started/decisions
Johnny Kucks 23/18
Bob Turley 23/19
Bobby Shantz 21/16
Don Larsen 20/14
Whitey Ford 17/16
For Lew, he has the worst era of the 4 primary starters, the 5th starter is better then him for the season. As long as it didnt pass him over for Red Murff.

Does this bother people who prefer playing historical seasons? Do you manually change lineups, rotations, etc. -- or do you let it go? I'm just curious.

For me,
if im trying to recreate a season with stock teams, i use APBA (Baseball for Windows).
If im trying to create a new baseball history i use OOTP.
